Socialshareprivacy_XH - a CMSimple_XH Plugin

Socialshareprivacy_XH facilitates to have Facebook, Twitter and Google+ buttons on your website without violating your visitor's privacy. Before the buttons are actually shown, the visitor has to agree explicitely. This plugin is only a wrapper around the jQuery plugin socialshareprivacy, which is developed by heise online. Socialshareprivacy_XH doesn't provide any additional features, but is merely meant as a simple way to use and configure the jQuery plugin without the need to mess around in JS files.

Please do read this documentation before you encounter any problems!
