| Important considerations |
Hosted use is donation-supported with a reasonable-use policy; high-volume or specialized deployments should be self-hosted. | Vendor cloud only, processed on EU infrastructure. Default tracking sets third-party collector cookies (2-year visitor ID, 30-minute session); the optional cookieless mode loses returning-visitor and cross-page session tracking. Page views and custom events share one quota, and recording stops at the plan limit. The API is read-only; session recordings and click heatmaps are not part of the documented feature set. |
