Session replay (hotjar)
Hotjar
This page describes common technical behavior for one vendor family. It is not legal advice, and it is not a compliance verdict.
What it commonly sends
Hotjar can record clicks, scrolling, and other page interactions. Text entered into fields may also be captured if masking or exclusions are not configured. The exact data depends on your setup.
Before vs after consent
Hotjar may load when the page opens, before a visitor makes a consent choice. Your consent setup determines whether it waits.
Hosts we look for
- hotjar.com
- hotjar.io
Practical next step
Find where Hotjar is added, such as your theme, plugin, tag manager, or hosting provider. Keep it, delay it until after a consent choice, or remove it. Then scan the same URL again.
