 Browser RUM requires first party cookies to be enabled on an end user's browser to collect data.

 The proxy is configured to check for valid user information before passing the session data to Datadog, thereby confirming that a real user is signed in and transmitting traffic to be monitored. When receiving traffic, the proxy verifies that the data includes the placeholder string and replaces it with the real `clientToken` before forwarding the data to Datadog.
 
 ### Event tracking
-An [event][5] is a user interaction with specific elements of your site or app. Events can be automatically captured via the SDK or sent via custom actions. You can turn off automatic tracking of user interactions and page views to only capture the interaction of your choice. By default, RUM uses target content to generate action names from actions automatically collected by the SDK. You can [explicitly override][6] this behavior with any given name.

 Datadog provides role-based access control (RBAC) for managing who sees captured RUM data. Default settings for data access depend on the role a user gets added to. There are three types of Datadog roles available: Administrator, Standard, and Read Only roles. More granular RUM-specific permissions are defined in [Datadog role permissions][15]. For example, you can grant or revoke access to view Session Replays.
 
 ### Data deletion
-If you need to delete data stored by Datadog, for example, if potentially sensitive data has been leaked into RUM events, you can hard-delete data from within a given timeframe. With a hard delete, **all** data is deleted; it cannot be targeted to a specific application. If you need any data deleted, reach out to the [Datadog support team][14].

 By default, if you wish to mask all action names, you can use the `enablePrivacyForActionName` option in conjunction with the `mask` privacy setting. This operation automatically substitutes all non-overridden action names with the placeholder `Masked Element`. This setting is also designed to be compatible with existing [HTML override attributes][16].

 ### Proactively search for sensitive data with Sensitive Data Scanner
 [Sensitive Data Scanner][17] allows you to proactively search and scrub sensitive data upon ingestion by Datadog. RUM events are scanned on the stream before any data is stored within Datadog. The tool has the power to scrub, hash, or partially redact PII data before it is stored. It works by applying out-of-the-box or customer-developed pattern matching rules. If you've enabled this feature, you can find it on the [**Manage Sensitive Data** page][18].
