Presence sensor
A site protected by Orbit Shield may also run the presence sensor. It puts the same checks on every page of a website instead of once on a form: a small script from the same website reports the same coarse facts this widget reports — screen and viewport, how many clicks and key presses happened and their rhythm, which standard features the browser has, whether the page stayed visible, how long things took — every thirty seconds and whenever the page is hidden or shown. What it collects is identical to what this widget collects, and so is what it never collects: not what you type, not where the pointer went, not the contents of the page. The report goes to the same website you are already on and nowhere else. The answer comes back as one cookie, __orbit_sense, which holds exactly three things: a score from 0 to 100, the moment that score stops counting (ten minutes later), and a signature proving the network wrote it. There is nothing in it that identifies you, and the page cannot read it.
