Leuchter.ORG Business Zitate

Leuchter.ORG Business Zitate is the official WordPress plugin for business-zitate.de, a curated German-language collection of business quotes operated by Leuchter.ORG. Display a daily or random business quote on your site, optionally filtered by category.

Features

• Shortcode [leucbuzi_quote] for pages, posts and text widgets
• Gutenberg block “Leuchter.ORG Business Zitat” with live preview
• Classic widget for sidebars
• Configurable: quote of the day or random quote, optionally limited to a single category
• Free color choice (background color matches your design; text color is calculated automatically based on contrast)
• All links return to business-zitate.de with UTM parameters
• No cookies, no tracking pixels, no advertising in the WordPress admin

The plugin embeds the quote widget via iframe from business-zitate.de. The plugin itself does not set any cookies on your site and does not store any personal data.

Translations included: German (de_DE, source), English (en_US), French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), Italian (it_IT).

External services

This plugin connects to business-zitate.de, a service operated by Leuchter.ORG (Daniel Leuchter, Germany). The connection is required for the core functionality: displaying the quotes. The following connections are made:

1. Quote embed (required, frontend)

Every page that contains the shortcode, block or widget loads an iframe from https://business-zitate.de/embed/quote. When the iframe loads, the visitor’s browser transmits the following data to business-zitate.de (just like for any other external resource):

• IP address
• User-Agent
• Referrer URL (restricted by referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade")
• The display parameters set via shortcode/block (type, category, color)

No personal data of your visitors is stored in databases. No cookies are set on your WordPress site by this plugin.

2. Category list (required, admin)

When you open the plugin settings under “Settings → Leuchter.ORG Business Zitate” or the Gutenberg block, the plugin makes a single request (cached for one hour) to https://business-zitate.de/api/categories to fetch the current list of available categories. Only standard HTTP headers are transmitted (your server’s IP address, the WordPress User-Agent).

3. Anonymous usage statistics (optional, DISABLED by default)

You can explicitly enable “Anonymous usage statistics” in the plugin settings. Only then will the plugin send the following data to https://business-zitate.de/api/plugin/ping on activation, deactivation and once every 24 hours when an admin page is loaded:

• Event name (plugin_activated, plugin_deactivated, plugin_admin_view)
• Hostname of your site (home_url())
• Plugin version
• WordPress version

This data is used solely to measure plugin reach. By default this feature is disabled and no data is transmitted.
