  • 1Continuing to load AddThis scripts after the service was discontinued by Oracle in May 2023
  • 2Not removing AddThis references from tag management containers after sunset

Compliance considerations

AddThis was discontinued by Oracle on 31 May 2023. Any remaining AddThis scripts on a site are dead tags that serve no purpose and may generate failed network requests. Sites should remove all AddThis references from their tag management containers and page templates. The presence of dead AddThis tags indicates poor tag hygiene and may be flagged in governance audits.
