Overview
The “original” share buttons automatically transmit data of your visitors to the social network sites as soon as they visit your website. They do not need to click on a share button for this and therefore have no choice, if they want their data to be send. The German computer magazine c’t has developed “Shariff” (ʃɛɹɪf) that follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This plugin adapts the Shariff concept and provides an easy to use solution for WordPress. We currently support 29 services in 25 languages: Bitcoin, Buffer, Diaspora, Facebook, Flipboard, LinkedIn, mailto, Mastodon, MeWe, Odnoklassniki, Patreon, PayPal, PayPal.me, Pinterest, Pocket, Printer, Reddit, RSS, SMS, Stumbleupon, Telegram, Threema, Tumblr, Tw…

GDPR-Compliant Social Sharing Made Simple
by webtrommel·10 months ago
I regularly use Shariff Wrapper on client websites to add GDPR-compliant social sharing buttons. It’s easy to configure, supports many popular services, and looks clean and professional. What I like most: no personal data is shared until the user actively clicks. A great solution for anyone who wants privacy-friendly social media buttons on their site.
Perfect

Works like a charme. Tried so many others. This is the light plugin I was looking for. Thanks!
A good plugin, but I miss Bluesky Social in the list
by nmrockswp·1 year ago·1 reply
I have been using the plugin for a few years and am very happy with it. Now that “Bluesky Social” has registered a few million users, it’s time to add the social network to your list – because it’s a good alternative to X (formerly Twitter)! Please do this soon, thank you!
Amazing worl!

Good plugin to respect visitor’s rights
by narcisgarcia·3 years ago
I only complain of some unnecessary use of JavaScript, and its inline colocation that makes it difficult to implement a strict CSP-SOP and keep it working.
In the meanwhile the main principle of this project is the important: Avoid 3rd party stuff to fulfill a real self-hosting and have a legal conformance.
