SocialSharePrivacy
SocialSharePrivacy is a jQuery Plugin that allows you to add buttons of social networks in a privacy friendly way.
Initially all buttons are inactive and so no data is transferred to or from those websites. Only after a first click they are activated and the code is loaded from the remote source.
It is based on the original plugin by heise. It can be found at http://www.heise.de/extras/socialshareprivacy/ For a demo see: http://c5demo.patrickheck.de/
Iprovements in comparison to the original include:
- Usage of one single image sprite. This cuts down the number of assets from 9 to only 3.
- Compatibility with jQuery >= 1.7 (including 1.9)
- Nicer code formatting
Supported Networks include:
- Google+
