Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between X-Frame-Options and CSP frame-ancestors?

CSP frame-ancestors is the modern W3C standard that supersedes X-Frame-Options, allowing granular origin whitelists. When both are present, modern browsers prioritize CSP frame-ancestors.

Does CORS affect iframe embedding?

No. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) governs XMLHttpRequest, fetch(), and cross-origin resource reads. Iframe embedding is controlled exclusively by frame headers (X-Frame-Options and CSP frame-ancestors).

How do I allow my website to be embedded on a specific partner domain?

Set Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://partner.com. This protects against clickjacking on untrusted sites while permitting authorized partners.
