How does Honey extension capture data?
I am using Honey and going through their FAQ and in below link it is mentioned that they collect some data from shopping website and if user made a purchase or not. I want to know if if Honey is capturing cart data and how do they do it? Through data scraping on checkout/payment page? and how does it know that is purchase happen or not?

- r_singh 7y agoBeing a browser extension, they can access the URLs, and HTML data of the web pages their users visit.

- photon_off 7y agoI use honey, but I only enable it on the page before I'm about to check out, then disable it after it's found a discount. Granted, during the time it is activated they could do whatever they want with my data (including hijacking my session), but at least this way they don't track everything.
- wanderingMonk 7y agoBut during the time you activated the extension, it can access what items are in your cart, right?
