You can test this yourself, but it looks like the plugin saves the IP,
host and date, regardless of if the end user chooses to display them or
not. This means that it doesn't matter how the end user configures the
plugin settings, since the data is stored anyway, i.e. the pref-file is
always modified when the user logs in.

This should be true if you're using v3.3, and in that version the
preference key is called "sui_last_date".

Sincerely,
Fredrik.
