<h4>Important Note</h4>
<p>This plugin is specifically designed for GDPR and IAB TCF v2.3 compliance. It does not currently support US privacy frameworks such as CCPA or CPRA, or other non-EU regional privacy regulations.</p>
<h4>Why You Need a CMP</h4>
<p>Under GDPR, ePrivacy, and similar regulations, publishers must obtain informed, recorded consent <strong>before</strong> loading non-essential cookies, trackers, or advertising vendors. A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is the tool that requests that consent, stores the user’s choices, and broadcasts them to your downstream partners in a standard, machine-readable format. Without one, ad and analytics revenue from EU users is legally at risk.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>By installing and using the Consent Management Platform by ShareThis you agree to our <a href="https://www.sharethis.com/publisher-terms-of-use/" rel="nofollow ugc">terms of use</a>. Those terms include ShareThis’s ability to record interactions with the consent banner.

ShareThis Share Buttons

Works brilliantly with a few minor tweaks.

Awesome.

Yeah those three points in the title are why I love this plugin. After a quick registration process I had beautiful share buttons floating on my site. Then I looked at the admin settings and realize how PERFECT the plugin was built to control visibility of the buttons on a WordPress site. I don't have to touch ANY code! I'm currently using the sticky buttons, but eventually I'm thinking of adding the inline buttons to my blog posts, which I can do with two clicks. I'm also utilizing the plugins GDPR tool for my EU visitors. Awesome plugin! I look forward to seeing what else ShareThis has to offer.

Fantastic! Easy! Beautiful!

I will not register to use your plugin.


Seems everything is working as expect and working fine.



Everything seemed to be working as expected and functioning smoothly; however, despite their popularity, I did not find the options to share on Instagram and TikTok. I anticipate that these sharing options will be added in the next update. 



Best Regards
