ClickFraudFree is a service-based plugin that helps website owners protect their traffic and advertising campaigns from fraudulent clicks, bots, and malicious users.
This plugin connects your WordPress site to the ClickFraudFree external service, which analyzes traffic patterns and detects invalid or fraudulent activity in real time.
⚠️ Important: 
This plugin relies on a remote service and does not function without an active ClickFraudFree account.
<h3>How the service works</h3>
When enabled, the plugin sends limited traffic-related data to the ClickFraudFree servers for analysis. This allows the service to detect and prevent click fraud and invalid traffic.
The plugin may communicate with the following external server:
<ul>
<li>https://clickfraudfree.com</li>
</ul>
<h3>Data sent to the service</h3>
Depending on your configuration, the plugin may transmit the following data to the ClickFraudFree service:
<ul>
<li>Client ID (provided by the ClickFraudFree account)</li>
<li>Visitor IP address</li>
<li>HTTP referrer URL</li>
<li>Timestamp of the visit</li>
</ul>
No personally identifiable user data is collected intentionally beyond what is required for fraud detection.
<h3>Why this data is needed</h3>
This information is required to: 
* Identify repeat or automated traffic 
* Detect bot activity and click farms 
* Prevent competitors from generating invalid ad clicks 
* Protect advertising budgets and analytics accuracy
<h3>Account requirement</h3>
An active ClickFraudFree account is required to use this plugin. 
You must sign up at https://clickfraudfree.com and obtain a Client ID.
