Privacy and cookies

Social networks and privacy togheter is a thorny argument, let say that social media widget commonly tracks user actions and add 3rd party cookies.

If privacy is something you must care about (for example: if you need to take care of the European Cookie Law) sc.social.like provide a "Do not track users" option. When enabled, social media widget are rendered as simple HTML links at the expense of features and user experience.

This product is also respecting the Do Not Track browser user's preference. If the user configured his browser for beeing not tracked, social media will be rendered as the "Severe privacy" settings is enabled.
