How do you handle browsers with javascript turned off? This invasion of privacy is exactly why it's turned off.

Honest question - do many modern checkouts work with JS turned off? Purely assuming here, but I would have thought that most checkouts are baked into web apps anyway these days, with the exception of some small vendors?
