Domain Whitelisting

Domain whitelisting is a critical security feature that restricts Ours Privacy SDKs to only load and function on approved domains. This prevents unauthorized usage of your tracking tokens and ensures that your analytics data remains secure and accurate.

What is Domain Whitelisting?

Domain whitelisting allows you to specify exactly which domains are authorized to use your Ours Privacy SDKs. When enabled, the SDKs will only load and function on domains that have been explicitly added to your whitelist.

This security measure prevents:

Unauthorized usage of your tracking tokens on competitor websites
Data pollution from unexpected domains
Potential security vulnerabilities from token exposure
Unintended analytics data from unknown sources

Why Domain Whitelisting is Essential

Security Benefits

Controls Data Access: Ensures only your approved domains can send data to your Ours Privacy account
Reduces Attack Surface: Limits potential security vulnerabilities to your whitelisted domains only

Data Quality Benefits

Prevents Data Pollution: Eliminates analytics noise from unauthorized usage
Maintains Data Integrity: Ensures all tracked data comes from your legitimate properties
Improves Attribution Accuracy: Prevents incorrect attribution of traffic and conversions

Compliance Benefits

Enhanced Privacy Control: Ensures data collection only occurs on domains you control
Audit Trail: Provides clear documentation of which domains are authorized to collect data

Supported SDKs

Domain whitelisting is available for four Ours Privacy services:

Web SDK: Control where your main analytics tracking can load and function
Session Replay: Restrict session recording to authorized domains
Consent Management Platform: Control where consent collection occurs
Translation Widget: Restrict translation functionality to authorized domains

Summary

Domain whitelisting is an essential security feature that should be enabled for all Ours Privacy SDKs. By restricting SDK functionality to authorized domains only, you prevent unauthorized usage, maintain data quality, and enhance your overall security posture.

Key Benefits:

Prevents unauthorized token usage
Maintains data integrity and quality
Enhances security and compliance
Provides clear audit trails

Next Steps:
