Is the embed really free?

Yes, including on commercial sites. There is no API key, no request limit and no required back link, though a link is always appreciated.

Does the embed slow down my page?

The iframe loads lazily, so it only loads when a visitor scrolls it into view. It does not block your own page from rendering.

Is visitor data sent to your server?

No. The embedded generator encodes barcodes in the visitor's browser, exactly like the full site does. We do not set advertising cookies in the frame.

Can I restrict it to one barcode type?

Yes. Enable 'Lock to this type' and the type picker is hidden, so the embed only generates the symbology you chose.
