External services
This plugin relies on the GroanDeck service (https://groandeck.com) to display dad jokes.
What the service does
GroanDeck provides a free API and embeddable widget that serves random dad jokes.
How the plugin uses it
- On every page load where the widget is placed, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from
https://groandeck.com/widget.js. - That script fetches a random joke from the GroanDeck API (
https://groandeck.com/api/v1/random). - When a visitor clicks “Next joke”, the script fetches another joke from the same API.
What data is sent
Standard HTTP request data (IP address, user agent, referrer) is sent with each API call. No personal data, cookies, or tracking identifiers are transmitted.
