 * Have you given any thought to the GDPR implications of this plugin?
 * For example, AFAIK, when a page or post loads that contains this plugin a hit
   is sent to static.hupso.com (for each instance of the share bar) and a cookie
   is set (name = __utmah).
 * I see no problem doing this if the visitor CLICKS on a share icon. However, to
   send data to a third-party on page load only i.e. WITHOUT a visitor click, does
   require explicit consent from the visitor in order to be GDPR compliant.
 * I would be interested in your thoughts…
