Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Volance Detection
Only if you tell it to. Every form starts in Observe mode, which never changes what a visitor sees. Switch a form to Flag or Block to act on Volance's recommendation. In Flag mode a suspicious comment is held for moderation; on other forms the flag is logged and the volance_detection_flagged action fires, but nothing is refused. Flag and Block only act while enforcement is switched on in your Volance workspace (Setup tab); with it off, or paused because your monthly quota is used up, Volance still scores and the plugin logs the recommendation.
Blocking follows the allow and block thresholds set by Volance (currently 70 and 40), and only while enforcement is on for your workspace. A blocked visitor sees a short message and can try again. Administrators are never blocked on protected paths. Start in Observe or Flag mode and review the Activity log before using Block.
By default the submission is allowed and logged as "No browser evidence". You can instead have Volance score it anyway.
For a submission to a protected form or path: interaction timing, pointer movement, wheel and scroll timing, key press timing (never which keys), coarse browser and device details, the visitor's IP address, and request headers (User-Agent, Accept-Language, Sec-CH-UA, Sec-Fetch, the order of the request headers, proxy-related headers, whether a cookie was present as a yes/no flag, and any Web Bot Auth signature headers). For protected paths the page path is also sent. Volance stores the IP address only as a one-way hash. See the External services section.
Not by default. Like the Volance website's install snippet, the plugin follows your Volance workspace setting. Only if you switch the fingerprint tier on in the Volance portal does the page script also read whether a blank canvas test passes, how many fonts are installed and the name of the graphics renderer, and send those with the submission. The plugin shows a notice on its Setup tab while the tier is on, and adds a sentence about it to the consent notice. Turning the tier on or off makes the built-in notice ask every visitor again. If you turn the tier off, the plugin stops collecting and sending those fields; it can take up to 12 hours for the page script to notice, and the plugin removes the fields before sending in the meantime.
The characters a visitor types, form values, clipboard contents, page text and cookie values. The plugin and the Volance service both reject content-bearing fields. Fingerprinting is off unless you switch on the fingerprint tier in your Volance workspace (see the next question).
Use the built-in Allow / Decline notice, choose "Use my own consent tool" and call window.volanceDetection.setConsent(true) when a visitor agrees (and false if they decline or withdraw), or choose "Always on". You can also dispatch a volance-detection:consent event on document with { detail: { granted: true } }.
Yes. Actions: volance_detection_decision, volance_detection_flagged, volance_detection_blocked. Filters: volance_detection_block_message, volance_detection_skip_user, volance_detection_load_collector, volance_detection_visitor_ip.
This plugin's log is deleted after 30 days. Volance deletes raw scores and sessions after 30 days; see its privacy policy.
By default the plugin sends REMOTE_ADDR. If your site sits behind a trusted proxy, return the real address from the volance_detection_visitor_ip filter.
