    Hey, love your plugin, just upgraded – I’m unclear what the third party text links are that are in the new T&C agreement you ask to agree to. What are they for and why are they placed there? I didn’t understand the short description that you added, maybe I just missed something.

    Thanks!

    Hi fanalejr,

    Actually there are no third party links. Those terms and conditions text were adopted from one of our plugins. Plugin is asking you to agree if it can send anonymous data about your site (such as IP, User Agent etc.) to our cdn server and place some random text inside your page when bots visiting your website (not when real human visits). This will not make any changes in your database.

    This will not affect the plugin performance in any manner even if you Disagree. But you can help us to improve our plugins by Agreeing.

    Hi all,

    If someone is reading this thread, please not that this feature is completely removed from the plugin. It was reported by spam, inserting links to your website instead of credit texts (they made the changes in server side).

    Sorry for the trouble.

    Joel – You got yourself in trouble, and you might want to say a bit more about this.

    @babylon I get that you are upset but refrain from name calling in these forums.

    Give this a read:

    People make mistakes. Those mistakes are not a license to personally attack people.
