Overview

Raygun is an application monitoring platform that provides error tracking and real user monitoring (RUM) for web applications. It captures JavaScript exceptions, browser performance metrics, and user session data to help development teams identify and resolve issues.

What This Script Does

  • Captures unhandled JavaScript errors and exceptions with full stack traces
  • Monitors page load times, network request latency, and browser rendering performance
  • Tracks user sessions and navigation paths to correlate errors with user journeys
  • Sends error and performance payloads to Raygun's servers for analysis and alerting
  • Sets a cookie or local storage entry to identify returning sessions

Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Functional
  • GDPR: Collects technical browser data and session identifiers. User IP addresses are processed. A legitimate interest argument can apply since the data serves application stability, but session-level tracking may require disclosure.
  • CCPA: Session identifiers may qualify as personal information under broad CCPA definitions.
  • ePrivacy: Sets cookies or local storage for session identification, which falls under the functional exemption when used strictly for error monitoring.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Raygun serves a functional purpose (error monitoring and performance tracking) and does not engage in advertising or cross-site behavioral profiling. It can generally operate under a functional or legitimate interest basis.

Conditional. Raygun is categorized as functional. It captures JavaScript errors and browser performance data for application monitoring. Session identifiers used strictly for error correlation fall under the functional exemption, but operators should disclose Raygun as a data processor under GDPR.

What does the Raygun script collect from visitors?

Raygun captures unhandled JavaScript exceptions with stack traces, page load times, network request latency, and user navigation paths for session correlation. It also processes visitor IP addresses. A cookie or localStorage entry is set to identify returning sessions for error context.

ConsentStack categorizes Raygun as functional. Because it serves application stability rather than tracking or advertising, ConsentStack does not block Raygun when visitors decline marketing consent.
