No. ShieldSquare JavaScript tag captures data in two categories broadly:
- Browser Environment related information (Example : Browser Type, Browser Version, User Agent, Event timestamp etc.)
- Events of end users (Example : Mouse Click, Scroll, Key Press etc.)
Above collected data is being used by our cloud Bot Engine to identify sophisticated human like Gen 3 and Gen 4 bots.
ShieldSquare Javascript Integration process has two components:
- ShieldSquare JavaScript tag (The snippet that you have integrated at the head section of your web page)
- ShieldSquare JavaScript Connector (The JavaScript file hosted on an Edge Server for data collection)
Reasons why there is no impact :
- JavaScript Integration snippet dynamically adds a script tag to DOM of the page which fetches the ShieldSquare JS Connector code hosted on Edge Servers.
- JavaScript Connector is loaded asynchronously hence rendering the page is absolutely not affected
- ShieldSquare JavaScript execution time is very minimal (within 10-30 ms)
- Collected data is posted to the ShieldSquare endpoint asynchronously for analysis
- Passive event listeners are added by ShieldSquare JavaScript connector so that the user experience of the application is not impacted
- JavaScript Connector is hosted on the Edge Servers to ensure high availability and low latency
- The JavaScript Connector is obfuscated and GZIP compression is enabled for low latency
- Browser caching for JavaScript connector is enabled
