Opt out of cookie-based tracking(applicable ONLY for session recording)
PageSense provides the option to allow your visitors to choose if they either want to "opt-in or opt-out" of cookie-based tracking on your website. This option is limited to the Session Recording experiment. However, for all the other experiments or tests run on your website, the cookies will be automatically set and will start tracking the required user information without an opt out choice.
By giving your visitors the choice to
accept
or decline cookies (while recording a session), you will keep them aware of the
information being tracked and collected. We strongly recommend this as a good practice.

To keep up with changing rules and best practices, we may revise this cookie policy at any time
by posting a revised version on this page. So please check back periodically to stay aware of
updates. Also, note that the PageSense cookie and privacy policy complies with EU cookie
