 * I do not want people to be tracked. Too many have browsers that will not go to
   a site that is tracked. Does this plugin, regular or pro, have any tracking built
   in? Can I use it without anybody getting tracked?

 * Hi,
 * No, the free plugin doesn’t track or store visitors.
 * The PRO version has a link manager, which stores IP and Browser version of visitors
   and when clicking a button. It’s on purpose a non-intrusive lightweight to see
   what buttons are often used. It’s in no way close to more famous trackers.
 * ( I just put a ticket to allow it to be disabled, I think you have a good point
   that a site owner should decide if it works or not ) .

 * Hi Bas. Thanks.
 * Not sure if I asked the right question. I read that some plugins like this track
   for their own benefit. For instance:
 *     ```
       Simple Share Buttons Adder
       TRACKING
       This plugin works great but the developers are so greedy. It has a huge pile of trackers that collect visitor information and sends them to third party companies. I know you want to make money from your hard work but why not have a single tracker that collects the data that you need and forwards it to other third-party companies that pay you for that? I counted over 10 trackers and it's so disgusting that it affects page speed performance. Checking the support forum and I found a ton of people complaining about. You have even blocked the ability to share images and links on this forum so that users can highlight this problem. STOP IT!
       ```

 * No, none of our plugins do this.
 * This would also be against the plugin guidelines for hosting on WP.org. See number
   7: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/),
   so do report if you see plugins on this site doing tracking without consent.

 * Thank you.
 * It seems entirely right that this kind of thing would be against the rules. But
   two or three are doing it going by the reviews on their relevant pages.
 * BTW Max Buttons is superb.
 * FYI For stupid first time users a bit more help might be helpful. I took some
   time making an email button not realising that the standard buttons for share
   are all there already. Doh!
