PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 Security concerns Email exposure: The privacy policy page exposes an email address ([email protected]) which could potentially be harvested by bots for spam. Consider using a contact form or obfuscating the email address.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Broken HTML Missing closing tag in the Storage & Security section which could cause rendering issues Everything Selenium Manager collects is publicly accessible in the <a href="https://plausible.io/manager.selenium.dev">Selenium Manager Plausible Dashboard</a> for full transparency. </li> </ul> Typo Typo in feedback section: "out implementations" should be "our implementations" If you have suggestions for how we can improve out implementations, please reach out to the Selenium team:

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Add policy last-updated date Add a clear timestamp or last-updated date to the Privacy Policy page to help users understand when the policy was last modified and ensure transparency about policy changes. website_and_docs/content/privacy/_index.html [14-16] <div class="mx-auto text-center p-4"> <h1 class="d-1">Selenium Privacy Policy</h1> + <p class="text-muted mt-2">Last Updated: February 21, 2025</p> </div> [ ] Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: Adding a last-updated date is a best practice for privacy policies, helping users understand policy currency and demonstrating transparency about policy changes. This is particularly important for compliance documentation.	Medium
	Add navigation table of contents Add a table of contents at the top of the privacy policy to help users quickly navigate to specific sections, improving accessibility and user experience. website_and_docs/content/privacy/_index.html [14-17] <div class="mx-auto text-center p-4"> <h1 class="d-1">Selenium Privacy Policy</h1> </div> {{< /blocks/section >}} +<div class="row p-5"> + <div class="w-lg-75 mx-auto"> + <h3>Contents</h3> + <ul> + <li><a href="#commitment">Selenium's Commitment to Privacy</a></li> + <li><a href="#analytics">Website Analytics</a></li> + <li><a href="#telemetry">Selenium Manager Telemetry</a></li> + <li><a href="#compliance">GDPR & CCPA Compliance</a></li> + <li><a href="#opt-out">How to Opt Out</a></li> + <li><a href="#feedback">Feedback</a></li> + </ul> + </div> +</div> + [ ] Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: A table of contents would improve navigation and accessibility of this long privacy policy document, helping users quickly find relevant sections. The implementation correctly uses anchor links to existing sections.	Low
