Precisely. If anything, session recordings are one of the least invasive forms of tracking because they restrict data collection to what you do on the website you're visiting.

They don't record information typed into forms, e.g. addresses, emails, CC numbers. Well, some don't record by default, with others you have to specify that manually.

Either way, it's better than a Facebook or Twitter Like buttons that infest the web and connect your visits with that site to your Twitter/FB account.



Most software that does session recording also collect keyboard events.
