Hi,
Thanks for reaching out!
The cron job elementor/tracker/send_event does not sync or overwrite any site files. Its only purpose is to send anonymous usage statistics to Elementor’s servers so the team can improve the product. It does not interact with CSS, JS, or any of your theme/plugin files.
The reason your custom-frontend.min.css keeps getting overwritten is that Elementor automatically regenerates its CSS files whenever certain actions occur, such as updating a page, clearing the cache, or after plugin updates. Any manual edits inside Elementor-generated CSS files will be lost.
If you need to keep custom CSS permanently, the recommended options are:
- Add your CSS in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS
- Or add it in a child theme stylesheet
This way, your changes stay safe no matter how often Elementor regenerates its internal files.
Best regards,
-

1.) Why is elementor still firing that cron-job and sending anonymous data even if I disabled the option in your settings. Thats pretty uncool. Please give me a function to disable this completely.

2.) Yes thanks, I know how to add additional CSS. The problem is, try to overwrite a CSS rule that is so massively high in priority / inheritance (html * with !important). Good luck with that. You would have to go to every element in your website to force it also with the !important-declaration.
How to stop elementor to automatically regenerate the css files? Or just fix your CSS please as I mentioned in another topic threat.
Thanks

It would be good if you could answer why you are still tracking usage when the option is disabled in your plugin. Please explain that.

Hi!
Elementor should not track usage data if you have disabled the usage tracking option in the plugin settings. If you’re seeing tracking activity after opting out, this may be due to a bug or a misunderstanding about what data is being collected.
Please make sure that the settings are save by visiting Elementor → Settings in your WordPress admin area, then selecting the ‘Advanced’ tab. Find the ‘Usage Data Sharing’ checkbox and make sure it is unchecked. Don’t forget to click ‘Save Changes’ at the bottom.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards,

Hi @ricav,
your answer.

My content before u wrote this:

This should answer your question if I saved it. The cronjob is still firing cronjob elementor/tracker/send_event.
But no worries, I will just kill it via functions.php if Elementor is collecting user interactions without my consent I won´t accept this even if it´s disabled.
