Common Mistakes

  • 1 Not configuring keystroke recording exclusions, allowing passwords and sensitive inputs to be captured
  • 2 Treating session recording as standard analytics for consent purposes
  • 3 Deploying on sensitive pages (payment, account settings) without page-level recording exclusions

Compliance Considerations

Records complete user sessions with mouse movements and form interactions. EU-headquartered (Denmark) with EU data processing. Session recordings require explicit consent as they capture detailed user behaviour beyond basic analytics. Configure keystroke and element exclusion to prevent recording of sensitive data.

High CrazyEgg

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.
