California’s privacy law doesn’t care whether you’ve heard of it — if your site pulls in enough traffic or revenue, the rules apply whether you’re ready or not.

How to Track Link and Button Clicks in WordPress (Step by Step)
You add a call-to-action button, an affiliate link, or a “download the guide” link to a page.
