Security exposure: SQX usage is being tracked by Facebook

Hello.

SQX contains IFRAME executing a facebook tracking code below. It's privacy issue. Either code has to be disabled/replaced with static image,etc or optionally configurable in setting to opt-out.

Thank you.

ok, making it configurable is a feature request, not a bug.

I get that FB pixel will trigger every time you start SQ, but I don't see where the privacy problem is. FB Like buttons are in many websites and I never heard any complaints about privacy.

The difference is that each decent browser nowadays has option to block these requests. Current FB code is a pure activity tracker without user consent (GDPR issue?). It's a bug , but not a technical.
