Yes, Mixpanel provides several ways to manage which events are Autocaptured: - Custom Configuration: When initializing the Mixpanel Javascript SDK, you can customize which types of events are Autocaptured (e.g., clicks, inputs, pageviews, scrolls, form submissions) by adjusting the
autocaptureconfiguration options. For example, you can enable or disable specific event types or change how pageviews are tracked:autocapture: { pageview: "full-url", click: true, input: true, scroll: true, submit: true, capture_text_content: false, }, }); ```LBKS [Docs: Javascript SDK Autocapture](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/javascript#autocapture)LBKS- **Omitting Elements:** You can exclude specific elements from being tracked by adding the `.mp-no-track` class to them, or mark them as sensitive with `.mp-sensitive` to prevent their inclusion in any tracking, including the `$elements` property of other events.LBKS- **Blocking by Selector or URL:** Use the `block_selectors` option to block specific classes or elements, and `block_url_regexes` to block Autocapture on certain pages: LBKS ```LBKS mixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', { autocapture: { block_selectors: ['.class1', 'button.class2'], block_url_regexes: [/\/login\/?$/, /\/payment\/?$/] }, }); ```LBKS [Docs: Omitting Elements from Autocapture](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/javascript#autocapture)LBKS- **Advanced Callbacks:** You can provide custom functions with `allow_element_callback` or `block_element_callback` to programmatically determine which elements should or should not be tracked.LBKS- **Disabling Autocapture:** You can disable Autocapture entirely by setting `autocapture: false` in your SDK configuration.LBKSThese options allow you to fine-tune what is collected, helping you focus on the most valuable data and maintain privacy compliance. For more details, see the [Autocapture documentation](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/autocapture#privacy-and-security).kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
