Privacy Features

The German computer magazine ct has developed Shariff (f) that follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This plugin adapts the Shariff concept.

The "original" share buttons from Facebook, Pinterest and others automatically transmit data of your visitors to the social network sites as soon as they visit your website. They do not need to click on a share button for this to happen and therefore have no choice. Shareaholic enables visitors to see how popular your page is and display share buttons without this needless leakage to the social networks (unless they decide to share, of course). This is done via server-side code that is part of this plugin to fetch share counts. Once fetched, share counts are cached to ensure maximum performance.

To take advantage of this privacy feature, enable "Share Count Proxy" under Advanced Settings.

Share Buttons for Images

  • Automatically add Pinterest's Pin It button and other social share buttons directly onto the images on your site to increase outbound traffic to your social sites, and inbound traffic to your website.
  • Includes integrated share buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more!

Floating Share Buttons

  • Increase social sharing by 2x or more by adding our Share Button plugin that hovers on the side of the page, rather than in the page content.
