In the digital age, social media buttons are a common sight on many websites, offering users the convenience of sharing content with just a click. However, a closer look at these buttons reveals that they may not be as harmless as they seem.

Recent findings suggest that upon activating the social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Flattr, Google+, Xing, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, no specific third-party services are listed as transmitting or storing data without the user's active click on the 'i' button. This is in line with the concept of the 'two-click solution,' which ensures that user data is not transmitted until the user actively clicks to enable the social network button.

However, it's important to note that clicking the button will activate the recommendation feature for several of these platforms, and data is already transferred to third parties when these features are activated, although they are not specifically connected to the platforms themselves. For instance, clicking the button for Xing, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google+, or Facebook will activate their recommendation features, and data will be transferred to third parties during this process. Similarly, clicking the button for Twitter will also activate its recommendation feature, with data being transferred to third parties in the process.

It's crucial for users to be aware of this data transfer, and for more details, clicking on the 'i' button is recommended. This will provide users with a clearer understanding of the data that is being transmitted and how it is being used.
