Tracking and privacy
Identify the fields that need protection
Start with forms where visitors may type sensitive information.
Step by step
- Review contact forms, registration forms, payments, booking forms, and healthcare-related forms.
- List fields that may contain names, phone numbers, addresses, identity numbers, or medical details.
- Mark those fields for masking or exclusion before promoting the project to wider internal use.
Tracking and privacy
Apply the right masking approach
Not every field needs the same treatment, so choose the lowest-risk option that still preserves useful analytics.

Step by step
- Mask text inputs where users can enter open-ended information.
- Exclude highly sensitive forms if masking alone is not enough.
- Keep only the structural behavior you need, such as whether the field was focused or whether the form was submitted.
Tracking and privacy
Retest after website changes
Form structures can change when the site is redesigned, a plugin is updated, or a new checkout flow is added.
Step by step
- Revisit masked pages after major releases.
- Confirm new fields are covered by the same privacy rules.
- Do a quick replay review after updates before considering the job finished.
