Common Mistakes

  • 1 Not configuring element exclusion rules, allowing session replays to capture sensitive form fields
  • 2 Treating session replay as basic analytics and not obtaining explicit consent
  • 3 Deploying on pages that display sensitive personal or financial data without page-level exclusions

Compliance Considerations

Records user sessions including mouse movements, clicks, and form inputs. Session replay can capture sensitive personal data displayed on screen. Explicit consent is strongly recommended — session recordings go beyond basic analytics. Configure privacy controls to exclude sensitive elements and pages. FullStory offers EU data residency — verify this is enabled for EU users.

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.
