Your feature list mentions:

Custom Link Tracking – Track your outbound link clicks with Google Analytics.

Where is this setting? Is it enabled by default, and therefore doesn’t show up as a plugin setting?

We are using Manually Enter Your UA Code option for our Analytics connection. I surely hope that event tracking isn’t disable when using a manual code. There’s no need to disable it for that.

Hi there,
Outbound link tracking is one of our many features that just happens automatically — we don’t have a settings toggle for it

OK, and can you confirm it works when using a manual UA code? Your documentation here shows settings/toggles for it: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-properly-setup-google-analytics-in-wordpress/

Hi there,
The option is shown in the onboarding wizard so people are aware it happens automatically — its not a real toggle.

Is there an option/filter to turn this off, if desired?

Specifically outbound link tracking, not by itself — you can however remove all click events tracking through a filter (you’d want to ask our support team at monsterinsights.com/lite-support/ which filter to do that is applicable based on your events tracking type as the filter changes depending on if you’re on gtag vs analytics.js).
