Sometimes you cannot use the Content-Security-Policy header if you are, e.g., Deploying your HTML files in a CDN where the headers are out of your control. In this case, you can still use CSP by specifying a http-equiv meta tag in the HTML markup, like so Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```html <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="..."> ``` Almost everything is still supported, including full XSS defenses. However, you will not be able to use framing protections, sandboxing, or a CSP violation logging endpoint. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
