What Social Warfare adds to your visitors’ browser
No trackers In our test of Social Warfare 4.5.6 on 7 November 2026, the plugin itself added no tracker and no cookie. What you place in your pages with it, such as a video or a map, still counts.
What matters for consent with Social Warfare
Links wait for the click
Each button is a plain link. Nothing loads from a social network until the visitor clicks.
Counts from your server
When a post’s saved counts expire, your server fetches new ones. The visitor’s browser does not contact the networks.
Click tracking follows analytics
With click tracking on, share events go to Google Analytics or Tag Manager only if they are already on the page. Those tags follow the visitor’s choice, and Cookie Rocks holds known trackers until the visitor agrees.
