Stripe records user movements on its customers' websites

Author here. Happy to answer any questions or hear feedback about this post.

title is a little sensationalist, i find that a little hard to forgive :) it is well understood any anti fraud system records movement. how does your analysis fare on Google's reCAPTCHA v3?

or rather the actual issue, the x00,000's of sites that actually record movement for product research and, yes, marketing? sensationalizing this issue on stripe, which is a probable good actor, doesn't help the sites and web users deal with the real bad actors.

but its a well written article with solid recommendations so kudos for that.

No, it’s not well understood. Perhaps you, and people in your direct field understand this, but does an average web developer who is reading Stripe’s documentation? Does a consumer?

Silent, given the lack of documentation or notification, is 100% appropriate here.
