cut short: the synthetic form-input probe stopped one or more navigations started while it ran, so the request evidence is incomplete; the synthetic form-input probe did not complete its test, so input-capture detection is incomplete; derived from status and warnings
Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (the synthetic form-input probe stopped one or more navigations started while it ran, so the request evidence is incomplete; the synthetic form-input probe did not complete its test, so input-capture detection is incomplete). Counts for the affected evidence are lower bounds; families that completed carry only their ordinary limits. The evidence receipt states the exact per-visit quality.
What this actually means
target.com's retained request log includes catalogued Google domains.
Retained request rows include 4 distinct catalogued tracking-service entities; 4 of the retained service matches recorded responses across at least 30 retained cross-site domains. A catalog match identifies the service domain, not why the request occurred or what it carried. It also looks like keyboard-input listeners were registered through a call chain that included a cross-site script.
The scan observed signals a non-expert should not have to decode from raw request tables. Some activity evidence was also incomplete: request counts are retained lower bounds.
The cards below translate the evidence into plain language. This failed or incomplete evidence is not ranked against corpus percentiles; positive signals remain visible as lower bounds. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.
at least 397 retained requests observed in one controlled visit.
Worth checking
at least 91 retained requests matched Brave Shields filter lists
at least 91 retained requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser, while loading normally.
Computed with Brave's own ad-block engine and default filter lists in classification mode: matched requests were not blocked by the scanner and remain in this report's observed request counts. Matching shows what Shields would target on this visit's traffic; an actual Shields visit blocks these and also prevents their follow-on requests, so this number is neither a measured block count nor the total effect.
The hand-curated service catalog separately matched at least 83 retained request rows in this visit.Show matched requests
Context
This Shields comparison is not conclusive
The "No blocking" visit's synthetic form-input probe stopped one or more navigations, so its request evidence is incomplete.
The raw request logs of both visits remain below for transparency, but the diff between them supports no claim about what the compared condition changed.
The page this scan read as the privacy policy held 1,058 characters of text, short enough to be the page before its policy loaded, so no policy text was compared against this visit's evidence. That is a limit of the automated check, not a finding about the site either way.
The scanner that recorded this visit read a policy page a fixed second after it began loading. Some pages render their policy later, and some had requests refused by the scan's own traffic budget, so a short read can be the page around a policy that never arrived. Company mentions and policy statements recorded from it are not used; later scanner versions wait for the page to settle and withhold such a read.
Page recorded as the policy: https://www.target.com/… (1,058 characters of text); no policy text compared.
Review-worthy
Catalogued service domains recorded responses during this visit
Google, DoubleVerify and Adobe, plus 1 other appeared in the request log.
A catalog match identifies a maintainer-reviewed service/domain mapping; it does not establish why an individual request occurred, what it carried, or whether profiling happened. Functional catalog labels include advertising, analytics / tag management and advertising measurement / verification. This scan could not identify 14 of the 30 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site. Catalog labels include session-replay or behavior-analytics services: FullStory; the domain match alone does not prove that a recording occurred. The role taxonomy assigns these additional services explicitly non-tracking operational, support, security, consent-management, or hosting roles: HUMAN Security.
at least 283 retained cross-site requests across at least 30 retained third-party hosts.Show third-party requests
Context
Requests were dispatched to catalogued major-platform domains
This visit dispatched requests to catalogued domains for Google.
The domain matches identify services, not the requests' purpose, payload, or whether any profile linking occurred.
Incomplete evidence: Google Analytics present, no remarketing signal in retained evidence before collection stopped
Google Analytics was observed, but no DoubleClick remarketing sync appears in the retained evidence.
Standard analytics collection was observed, without the stats.g.doubleclick.net advertising sync. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.
The automated visit did not observe third-party cookies.
This does not prove the site never uses cookies; it means this visit did not observe third-party cookies.
20 cookies total in this report.

Input-monitoring signal involving a third-party script
Listener coverage that could observe typing-related input events was registered through call chains that included a third-party script.
This is a behavioral instrumentation signal from listener registration, stack-attributed script origins, and known-vendor requests: it shows the page was instrumented to observe interaction, not that anything was transmitted. Stack attribution records the script origins present in the bounded registration call chain. A cross-site origin in that chain does not by itself establish that the cross-site script registered the listener. That is because first-party code can register its own listeners through a helper served from elsewhere. A different registrable domain is also not by itself a different operator: sites commonly serve their own scripts from a separate asset domain. The card therefore says third party only when the catalog or reviewed ownership attributes an origin to another organization. On scanners that run the active keystroke-capture probe, actual transmission is tested separately (a synthetic value is typed, never real input, and no typed values are collected). Treat this card as a review prompt rather than proof.
Session-recording listener coverage: 423 interaction-listener registrations with https://assets.targetimg1.com/, https://*.px-cloud.net/ and https://*.doubleverify.com/ in the registration call chain. Input-monitoring listener coverage: 175 input-listener registrations with https://assets.targetimg1.com/, https://*.px-cloud.net/ and https://*.*.doubleclick.net/ in the registration call chain. Known session-replay vendor(s): FullStory.
Context
Fingerprint-like browser APIs were called
3 high-entropy API calls appeared in the instrumentation log.
These calls can be legitimate (charts, graphics, media), so the count is observational, not a severity score, and it excludes Web and Service Workers. Top calls: canvas.toDataURL, webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL and webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL.
3 API families recorded.

Recorded provenance is self-reported measurement metadata, not a cryptographic attestation. The public versioned report JSON contains the retained public evidence; see the methodology for interpretation and retention limits.
This report covers what the scanner measures, not everything a site can do. 17 browser surfaces are not instrumented at all (Every page except the one that was scanned; Anything that only loads after scrolling or interaction; Why a request happened, as a causal chain; and 14 others), 3 capabilities are declined by policy, and 3 are outside what any single visit can see. Their absence from this report is not evidence that they did not occur. Read the published coverage boundary.
Detector accuracy is unmeasured. No calibration study currently publishes a precision or recall for the detectors on this page, so a detector match here is a recorded observation, not a calibrated classification. A study has been recorded for pixel-events and does not support a published rate under the current build. How detector accuracy is measured.
Approved use boundary: This report is investigative evidence that requires independent corroboration. It is not a standalone legal determination and not the sole exhibit in a legal proceeding. Recorded in this project's release manifest on .
