### Body

#### The `referrer` attribute

The referrer attribute specifies the URI of the web page where you will use the Web SDK. The referrer sent by the browser must match the referrer URI pattern in the JWT for the SDK to authenticate successfully.

The referrer is based on the Google Chrome [match pattern](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns) URIs. URIs can contain wild card characters.

The referrer pattern included in the JWT guarantees that other malicious websites cannot reuse the JWT if it is lost.
