# How Website Tracking Works HockeyStack's website tracking is not magic, although it certainly feels like that. It happens through a script file hosted through a CDN network, much like any other web analytics tool out there. What separates HockeyStack from the general pack is that it listens to all events registered on your website so that it can track clicks, submissions, and searches, as well as pageviews. The tracking script is at the time of this writing about 8.5 kilobytes. Although byte size definitely matters, an addition of this small magnitude would not affect your site speed at all. A few notes: * HockeyStack does not collect passwords or any other sensitive information from form submissions. * HockeyStack —by default— does not use cookies to save identifiers. Collected data: * Website visit behavior, including pageviews, sessions, referrers, clicks, scrolls, form submissions * Emails from forms submitted * Geolocation data at the city granularity * Device and browser metadata Tracking & Cookie Consent: * **Users Accept Cookies:** Full website tracking and attribution. * **Users Decline Cookies:** No website tracking, but lifecycle data from HubSpot and purchase numbers remain accurate. * HockeyStack ensures privacy compliance while maintaining key insights. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
