GDPR Cookie
The GDPR Cookie setting lets you customize how Nelio Session Recordings behaves to comply with GDPR.
- If unchecked, the Nelio A/B Testing GDPR Cookie setting behavior is used.
- If checked, you can configure the plugin so that it only records user sessions after explicit consent is given.
See this article for detailed information on how to set the GDPR cookie and how Nelio A/B Testing obtain cookie consent.
Tracking settings
Check the Capture session shorter than 30 seconds if you want to record even the recordings made of your visitors with a duration less than 30 seconds.
If you leave it unchecked, the sessions shorter than 30 seconds will be ignored.
Sampling rate
Click on the drop-down to select among the different sampling rates:
- Unlimited: every visitor session will be recorded until you run out of quota
- Uniform: record your sessions evenly throughout the calendar month by indicating the number of sessions you want to be recorded monthly on an estimated basis.
- Custom percentage: you can set the percentage of sessions that should be recorded.
Scope URLs
The Scope URLs field lets you define which pages should be tracked:
- Add one URL or URL fragment per line.
- If left empty, Nelio will record the entire site.
- Useful when you only want to analyze behavior on specific pages (e.g., checkout, landing pages, product pages).
Excluded CSS Selectors
The Excluded CSS selectors field specifies page elements that should not be tracked.
- Add one CSS selector per line.
- Typically used for dynamic elements like sliders, carousels, or auto-updating content that could generate unnecessary noise in recordings.
- Helps ensure that only meaningful user interactions are recorded.
