@switchingsocial I might be mistaken, but I don't think tracking functionality is built into a theme in wp. AFAIK it's a function that is enabled by an add-on. For either Google analytics or to store visitors info in the local dB.

@switchingsocial sorry I'm unable to help here, but your question is quite intriguing... Outside Jetpack or GA, what other trackers could be added to a theme by the developer?

@cybeardjm @switchingsocialI've purchased a new theme (for Ghost, not WordPress) a few days ago. Here's what I had to do:1. Self-host fonts from Google Fonts. 2. Remove Disqus comments (commented out, but I still didn't want it).3. Self-host font-awesome and some random JS libraries loaded from CDNs (I'd be okay with leaving it at one CDN, but it connected to 3-4 CDNs).~15 requests are now handled by the same server, instead of requesting stuff from 3rd parties.

@r3bl @switchingsocial Yep, understood... Makes me think of many sites (e.g. travel) where the googlemaps API is loaded. With Woocommerce-ready themes, there are so many calls made...

@cybeardjm The worst things is I really couldn't tell that it had trackers until after I've purchased and downloaded the theme.I'm not saying I wouldn't purchase this same theme if I knew (I find it gorgeous, and removing trackers is a minor hassle), but if I were looking for a new one, I'd like a privacy-respecting store that @switchingsocial is looking for.

@r3bl @switchingsocial the problem is you can't auto-update the theme, or will have to do these changes it each time...
