Kloovia – Share & follow buttons

Kloovia adds social share and follow buttons to your site without the page-weight tax most sharing plugins charge.

Nothing loads on pages that have no buttons. Where buttons do appear, Kloovia adds roughly 3.5 KB of CSS and 5 KB of JavaScript over the wire: no jQuery, no icon image requests, no third-party scripts.

What it does

• Share and follow on one button set. Every network can share the current page, link to your profile, or both.
• Five ways to place buttons: automatically in post content, a floating bar, the Share buttons block, the [kloovia] shortcode, or a widget.
• 23 icon styles, all drawn from one SVG sprite, so they stay sharp at any size and cost no extra requests.
• Share counts, cached and refreshed in the background, never fetched while a visitor is waiting.
• A follow-us popup with scroll, delay, exit-intent or on-load triggers.
• An email subscription form that stores addresses on your own site, or connects to Mailchimp or Brevo.
• Click counting stored locally. No external analytics.
• QR codes for scan-to-share networks such as WeChat, generated on your own site. The encoder is only downloaded if a visitor opens one.

Privacy

Kloovia makes no third-party requests unless you switch on a feature that needs one, and it collects no telemetry of any kind. Share buttons are plain links to each network’s own share page; nothing is loaded from those networks until a visitor clicks.

Networks

Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, Buffer, Xing, Messenger, VK, Odnoklassniki, Weibo, WeChat, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Houzz, Spotify, GitHub, Discord, RSS, email, SMS, copy link and print.

Switching from Ultimate Social Media PLUS

Kloovia detects an existing Ultimate Social Media PLUS installation and offers to import its settings: networks, links, icon style, sizing, placement and popup, in one click. Its [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS] shortcode keeps working, so posts do not need editing.

External services

Kloovia makes no outbound requests at all in its default configuration. Every service below is optional and is only contacted after you enter a credential for it.

Facebook Graph API: used only if you switch on automatic share counts for Facebook and supply an access token. Kloovia sends the URL whose count it is fetching, plus your token, to graph.facebook.com. Nothing about your visitors is sent. Terms: https://developers.facebook.com/terms/. Privacy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

YouTube Data API (Google): used only if you switch on automatic counts for YouTube and supply an API key. Kloovia sends your channel ID and API key to www.googleapis.com to read the public subscriber count. Terms: https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Mailchimp: used only if you set the subscription form’s provider to Mailchimp and supply an API key. The subscriber’s email address is sent to api.mailchimp.com when they submit the form. Terms: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/. Privacy: https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/

Brevo: used only if you set the subscription form’s provider to Brevo and supply an API key. The subscriber’s email address is sent to api.brevo.com when they submit the form. Terms: https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/. Privacy: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/

Share buttons themselves contact nothing. They are ordinary links to each network’s own share page, so a network is only reached after a visitor clicks.
