# Ignore specific elements

For privacy reasons, you can mask or skip specific elements from being recorded by adding a CSS class to the HTML element:

| CSS class          | Description                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ust-rec-block**  | Do not record this element ([full tracking system](/api/session-recording.md))                       |
| **ust-rec-ignore** | Do not record input events on this element ([both tracking systems](/api/session-recording.md))      |
| **ust-rec-mask**   | Replace all text input in this element with `*` ([both tracking systems](/api/session-recording.md)) |

{% hint style="info" %}
`input[type="password"]` will be masked by default for both tracking systems.
{% endhint %}

### Example

```html
<!-- Without masking -->
<input type="text" name="email" value="test@x.com" />
<!-- Email displayed in recording will be test@x.com -->

<!-- With masking -->
<input type="text" name="email" value="test@x.com" class="ust-rec-mask" />
<!-- Email displayed in recording will be ********** -->
```
