Exclude one URL from script

Question

I use this code to prevent the visitors of my website to copy-paste its content.

<script>document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());</script>
<script>element.on(?:copy|cut|paste)</script>

I was wondering if it were possible to exclude one URL from this script? It would help since it's for the tracking and customers would use copy-paste

Let me know, thanks you in advance :)

A better idea might be to just not include the script on the page you want to exclude it from. — nitsram

The second one won't work anyway. And why not just not include the script when you don't want it? What prevents you from doing that? — Pointy

Also understand that people can easily get around a mechanism like that. — Pointy

Generally there is no any javascript will prevent user from copying contents, simply, they may disable it or select and CTRL+C. However, you may call this functionality from a function in which a check for document.location occurred before listen to the event. — SaidbakR

Instead of

document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());

you could do something like

document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => {
    if (window.location.href !== 'http://example.com/exclude/') {
        event.preventDefault()
    }
});
