<p>This plugin disables the new WordPress emoji functionality. GDPR friendly.</p>
<p>Note: Emoticons will still work and emojis will still work in browsers which have built in support for them. This plugin simply removes the extra code bloat used to add support for emojis in older browsers.</p>
<h4>GDPR compliancy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not do anything to make your site less GDPR compliant. It disables the DNS prefetching of emojis within WordPress, which should ensure improved privacy. To determine if your site is GDPR compliant, please seek legal advice. I have done my best to ensure the plugin is 100% GDPR compliant, but I am not a lawyer so can not guarantee anything 😉</p>


Disable Emojis (GDPR friendly)

remove_action( 'embed_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );

another remove filter to add to the too long list !

No configuration needed. No ads. Does the job.
