Integration with Sentry, Report URI, URIports and Datadog 
Sentry is a well-known platform for monitoring and tracking errors in applications. By integrating Sentry with our plugin, users can: 
 * Receive detailed reports on content security policy (CSP) violations. 
 * Monitor and analyze JavaScript exceptions occurring on their site. 
 * Benefit from advanced tools for proactive troubleshooting.
Monitoring and Integration with Sentry, Datadog and URI Reports for optimal security.
All Free Features 
The Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP version includes all the free features.
We have implemented FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts), using best practices. First, using Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP prevents the browser from including your site in the “cohort calculation” on FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). This means that nothing can call document.interestCohort() to get the FLoC ID of the currently used client. Obviously, this does nothing outside of your currently visited site and does not “disable” FLoC on the client beyond that scope.
Even though FLoC is still fairly new and not yet widely supported, as programmers we think that privacy protection elements are important, so we choose to give you the feature of being opt out of FLoC! We’ve created a special “automatic blocking of FLoC” feature, trying to always offer the best tool with privacy protection and cyber security as main targets and focus.
Analyze your site before and after using Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP security headers are self-configured according to HTTP Security Headers and HTTP Strict Transport Security / HSTS best practices.
