Common Mistakes

  • 1 Not configuring input sanitisation, allowing session replays to capture passwords and personal data
  • 2 Treating session replay as basic error tracking without obtaining appropriate consent
  • 3 Failing to sanitise network request/response bodies that may contain personal data or authentication tokens

Compliance Considerations

Records complete user sessions including DOM mutations, network requests, and console output. Session recordings can capture sensitive personal data displayed on screen. Explicit consent is strongly recommended. Configure input sanitisation and element blocking to prevent capture of sensitive fields. Network request bodies may contain personal data — configure request sanitisation.

CrazyEgg is a website optimisation tool that provides heatmaps, scroll maps, click reports, and session recordings to help organisations understand how users interact with their web pages. It captures detailed interaction data including mouse movements, click positions, and scroll depth, which is visualised through overlay reports on page screenshots. CrazyEgg is often deployed by marketing and UX teams seeking quick visual insights without the complexity of full analytics platforms. Like all session recording tools, it carries elevated data protection risk because it can inadvertently capture personal data displayed on screen or entered into form fields.
