Overview

Session Replay uses a Service Worker in another domain session-replay-datadoghq.com to provide the best experience possible while protecting your privacy and guaranteeing the safety of your data.

If you have blocked third-party cookies in your browser settings, or if your browser blocks them by default, this prevents the service worker from registering correctly.
