Which new shortcodes does Skyword add to WordPress?

The plugin Skyword added 4 new shortcodes when it was installed with WP-CLI in our WordPress test environment.

ShortCode		Known Plugin or Theme conflicts
[cf]		The cf shortcode has potential conflicts with at least 5 other plugins or themes.
[skyword_anonymous_tracking]		The skyword_anonymous_tracking shortcode has potential conflict with at least 1 other plugin or theme.
[skyword_iframe]		The skyword_iframe shortcode has potential conflict with at least 1 other plugin or theme.
[skyword_tracking]		The skyword_tracking shortcode has potential conflict with at least 1 other plugin or theme.

Note: We have not yet checked to see if these shortcodes work as expected in pages, posts, sidebar widgets, or when set as the page title, in content, in the excert, in menus or anywhere else within a WordPress installation. A shortcode could produce errors due to parameters added when it is used, or if the plugin is updated and the format of the shortcode has changed.
