Interesting, what data does the JS send back to HitTail (interested in scope / privacy here)? Does it have any dependencies?

It sends back the referrer URL from the search engine that contains info like what keyword was searched on, whether it was paid or organic, which search engine, etc...

The JS doesn't have dependencies in terms of external libraries - self-contained but it obviously depends on our server since it makes an async call back to save the keyword data.
