Overview
Human Security (formerly White Ops) is a cybersecurity company that protects websites from bot attacks, ad fraud, and account takeover. Its client-side scripts perform real-time device verification to distinguish human visitors from automated threats.
What This Script Does
- Collects browser environment signals: user agent, screen properties, WebGL renderer, installed plugins, timezone, and language settings
- Performs behavioral analysis on user interactions (mouse movements, keystroke timing, scroll patterns) to detect non-human behavior
- Executes JavaScript challenges designed to expose headless browsers and automation frameworks
- Sends device integrity signals to Human Security's verification servers for real-time bot classification
- Returns a verification decision that the site's backend can use to allow or block the request

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Does Human Security require cookie consent on my website?
No. Human Security performs bot detection and fraud prevention, which qualifies as essential security infrastructure. It does not set marketing or analytics cookies. Under GDPR, security scripts that collect only the minimum data necessary to protect site integrity are generally exempt from consent requirements.
What signals does Human Security collect from visitors?
Human Security scripts collect browser environment signals including user agent, screen properties, WebGL renderer, installed plugins, timezone, and language settings. They also perform behavioral analysis on mouse movements, keystroke timing, and scroll patterns to distinguish human visitors from automated bots and headless browsers.
How does ConsentStack classify Human Security on monitored sites?
ConsentStack classifies Human Security as essential, so it operates without visitor consent. ConsentStack does not block its scripts by default. The service is treated as legitimate security infrastructure, and its behavioral telemetry is disclosed in the privacy notice rather than gated behind a consent prompt.
