– The Bible reference (e.g., “John 3:16”)
– The requested translation (e.g., “KJV”)

No Tracking: PrimeBible does not log IP addresses, track user behavior, or use cookies from these API requests.

Optional Analytics: If you enable the analytics setting, the plugin will fire a Google Analytics event when a tooltip is opened (if GA is already installed on your site). This is disabled by default.
