On the frontend, the plugin uses browser sessionStorage only to remember that a visitor closed the popup during the current browser session. This data stays in the visitor’s browser and is not sent to this plugin author. The plugin does not collect personal data by itself, does not create leads, does not call a remote API, does not load third-party tracking scripts, and does not phone home. The built-in dashboard analytics store local aggregate counts only for impressions, CTA clicks, close clicks, call clicks, and WhatsApp clicks. The plugin does not store IP addresses, user agents, names, phone numbers, emails, or lead data. For best privacy, site owners should choose popup images from the WordPress Media Library. If a site owner enters an externally hosted image URL, the visitor browser will request that image from the external host. If the site admin enables GA4 gtag or GTM dataLayer tracking, button clicks are sent to the analytics setup already installed on the site. Site owners are responsible for disclosing their analytics usage and obtaining consent where required by law.

Each plugin can track events differently. They can cause conflicts and slow-down on the front-end With a dedicated GTM plugin, all data is sent in standardized Google format to Google Tag Manager which forwards events to multiple destination services. Reporting consistency A common problem when trying to use other GTM and Google Analytics plugins is that data can be sent twice corrupting analytics reporting. Using DataLayer is a standard way to ensure your tracking information stays consistent across all connected tools. Google Consent Mode v2 Using GTM and dataLayer allows to build more complex scenarios, such as only processing the data after obtaining user consent. Other plugin directly pipe events into target system no matter if required permission was given or not.
