External services
This plugin includes a Script Blocker feature that detects and blocks third-party tracking scripts until the user provides consent. To achieve this, the plugin’s code contains references to the domains of these third-party services (such as connect.facebook.net, googletagmanager.com, embed.tawk.to, widget.intercom.io, etc.) strictly for pattern-matching and blocking purposes.
The plugin does not automatically connect to, send data to, or load scripts from these external services. It only intercepts them if they are already present on your website and blocks their execution based on the user’s consent preferences.
For completeness, here are the privacy policies of some common services that this plugin can block:
* Google Analytics & Tag Manager: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service
* Facebook/Meta Pixel: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service
* Tawk.to: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service
* Intercom: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service
