Session replay without the cookie banner.
Watch what actually happened in a session, then trace it back to the campaign that paid for it. Cookieless by default, masked by default, and bundled into a $5 plan rather than sold as a separate product.
What is privacy-first session replay?
Session replay records how a visitor moved through your site, then plays it back as video. Privacy-first replay does it without a persistent cookie or a device fingerprint, and masks form input in the browser before anything is sent. Mrkr records this way by default, so no consent banner is required.
The recording is not a screen capture. Mrkr captures the structural changes to the page and replays them, which is why a session costs kilobytes rather than megabytes, and why text can be masked before it ever leaves the visitor’s browser.
The session behind the number.
A replay opens with its own timeline: every page view, click, scroll, and rage click in order, with the source and campaign that brought the visitor in sitting beside it.
Scrub to the moment a session went wrong instead of watching it end to end.
What replay is actually for.
Explain a funnel drop-off
A funnel says 38% leave at payment. Open the sessions that dropped and you see why.
Reproduce a bug you cannot reproduce
Watch the session instead of reading a support thread. Exact sequence, browser, viewport.
See whether the page reads
Scroll depth says people stopped halfway. Replay says whether they stalled, skimmed, or hunted.
Judge a campaign properly
Every replay carries its source, campaign, and landing page. Good numbers plus bad sessions is a warning.
Who else does privacy and replay together.
Most privacy-focused analytics tools do not sell session replay at all, and most replay tools are not privacy-focused. This is the honest state of the field.

Competitor details checked against their own pricing and feature pages on 2026-08-24. Mrkr has no heatmaps; if heatmaps are the job, Hotjar or Clarity is the better tool.

How the recording stays private.
Masked in the browser
Text inputs and password fields are replaced before the payload is built, so what was typed never reaches Mrkr.
An identifier built to expire
The visitor signal is salted and rotates every 24 hours. Recordings are deleted on your plan's retention schedule.
What it cannot do
Cookieless mode cannot link one person's sessions across weeks. Cookie mode is a per-site switch, and it does need consent.
