Overview

Bugsnag is an error monitoring platform that captures JavaScript exceptions and application crashes. Development teams use it to detect, diagnose, and prioritize production errors in real time.

What This Script Does

The Bugsnag notifier script captures unhandled JavaScript exceptions and sends error reports to Bugsnag's servers. Each report includes the error message, stack trace, browser environment (user agent, OS, browser version), and user breadcrumbs (recent actions that led to the error). Bugsnag does not set advertising cookies, does not build behavioral profiles, and does not collect data for marketing purposes. It may optionally include a user identifier if configured by the development team for error correlation.

Consent & Compliance

Consent category: Functional

Bugsnag serves a technical monitoring function essential for application quality. Under GDPR, error monitoring for service reliability can qualify as a legitimate interest. The data collected (error details, browser environment) is used solely for debugging. Under ePrivacy, if Bugsnag does not set tracking cookies, no cookie consent is required. If user identifiers are attached to error reports, this should be disclosed in the privacy policy.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Bugsnag is an error monitoring tool that collects only technical error data. It does not track users for marketing or analytics purposes. It can be loaded as a functional script without consent.

Is Bugsnag GDPR compliant?

Bugsnag typically loads functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Bugsnag can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Bugsnag, not on Bugsnag itself.
