The plugin does not bundle that script or the price data; it builds an embed URL and loads them from the service. This is what keeps the plugin small and lets prices stay current without a plugin update.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What data is sent, and when<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On every page view where the widget is displayed<\/strong>, the visitor's browser requests the widget script from <code>https:\/\/widget.currency.wiki\/crypto\/v3\/script.js<\/code>, and then the price file from <code>https:\/\/cdn.currency.wiki\/crypto\/quotes.json<\/code>. The script request carries the display settings you configured (style, theme, accent color, coin list, quote currency, language) as URL parameters, plus a <code>source=wp<\/code> marker indicating the request came from the WordPress plugin. As with any web request, the visitor's IP address and user agent are visible to the server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No personal data is collected, and no cookies are set.<\/strong> Prices are public market data; nothing about your visitor is sent beyond the ordinary contents of an HTTP request.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In the WordPress admin<\/strong>, two screens show live previews from <code>https:\/\/widget.currency.wiki\/crypto\/v3\/embed<\/code> (each flagged <code>preview=1<\/code> so it is not counted as a site using the widget), which send the same display settings listed above: the plugin's settings screen renders a small gallery of the four styles, and the block editor renders a live preview while you configure a block. No personal data is sent from the admin; these are the same public price requests described above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Terms and privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Terms of Service: https:\/\/currency.wiki\/terms-of-service<\/li>\n<li>Privacy Policy: https:\/\/currency.wiki\/privacy-policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20an%20api%20key%3F\"><h3>Do I need an API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Live prices are served from a fast, globally cached CDN endpoint maintained by Currency.Wiki.
