# Plugin is violating WordPress plugin guidelines AGAIN!

 * This plugin was removed once in the past for violating Worpress community plugin
   standards and it seems to be doing so AGAIN. I am seeing that it is serving out
   Javascript files (ex. adnxs.com & cloudfront files) that allow for 3rd parties
   to track your users and they are effectively selling our users data to them without
   notifying them or gaining consent. I’m confused as to how this plugin is still
   up on WordPress.org if it violates the community standards.

 * **Developers** of this plugin can you please explain what is going on here! You
   NEED to be honest about how your plugin functions.

 * Could you please not post multiple topics about the same thing? Your review was
   deleted because it wasn’t a review it was only those 2 links to topics over a
   year old.

 * Can you point to the code that does the part that you are complaining about?

 * If you can then (as reported in those other topics) report the _specifics_ to
   plugins [at] wordpress.org.
