You would like to integrate Google Maps on your website and are looking for a data protection compliant solution? You would like to show your website visitors where to find you, but at the same time you want to respect their privacy?
This is exactly where trusted plugin supports you and ensures that you can integrate Google Maps on your website free of charge and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Instead of a map, we load a colored placeholder of your choice in the first step. Supplemented by a few words of your own, it becomes an attractive interaction surface for your visitors.
No data will be transferred to Google until your visitors click on the consent button. Only then will the correct map be loaded and your selected address displayed in Google Maps.
Both your placeholder and your Google Maps are mobile optimized and automatically adjust to the display size. You can also give both of them a maximum width to achieve the best optical result.
In this way you can protect the privacy of your visitors in accordance with DSGVO and at the same time give them the desired orientation to find you.
Here you can find a live demo of a <a href="https://www.exovia.de/journal/wordpress-google-maps-dsgvo/" rel="nofollow ugc">GDPR map</a> created with the plugin.

OMGF can be downloaded for free without any paid subscription from <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-webfonts-local/" rel="ugc">the official WordPress repository</a>.
<blockquote>
How could using fonts via Google’s service possibly run afoul of GDPR? The fact of the matter is that, when a font is requested by the user’s browser, their IP is logged by Google and used for analytics. 
 — Lifehacker
</blockquote>
Leverage Browser Cache, reduce DNS lookups/requests, reduce Cumulative Layout Shift and make your Google Fonts 100% GDPR-compliant with OMGF!
OMGF is written with performance and user-friendliness in mind. It uses the Google Fonts API to automatically cache the fonts your theme and plugins use to minimize DNS requests and speed up your WordPress website.
<h4>How Does It Work?</h4>
After installing and configuring the plugin, OMGF will automatically start looking for Google Fonts whenever a page is requested on your website.
All Google Fonts are listed in the Optimize Local Fonts section of OMGF’s settings screen. There, you can choose to:
<ul>
<li>Preload fonts to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift above the fold.</li>
<li>Unload fonts that’re not used by you, your theme, and/or plugins.</li>
<li>Set a Fallback Font Stack (OMGF Pro required), to further reduce Cumulative Layout Shift, or</li>
<li>Enable Magic Fallbacks (OMGF Pro required), to automatically generate mathematically tuned system font fallbacks that match your Google Fonts’ exact proportions, eliminating layout shift while fonts load.</li>
<li>Replace (OMGF Pro required) font-families with system fonts to speed up loading times!</li>
</ul>
<h4>Other Features include</h4>
<ul>
<li>The integrated Google Fonts checker notifies you if a plugin or your theme has added Google Fonts (e.g., after an update) it can’t process.</li>
<li>The Performance Checker automatically monitors your Google Fonts’ performance and notifies you about potential improvements in 4 areas:
<ul>
<li>Unused subsets — subsets that are downloaded but never used, increasing Total Blocking Time,</li>
<li>Unused font styles/weights — font variants that are loaded but not used, causing unused CSS,</li>
<li>Missing preloads — fonts used above the fold that aren’t preloaded, increasing Largest Contentful Paint and First Contentful Paint,</li>
<li>Cumulative Layout Shift — layout shift caused by fonts loading after the page is rendered.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Variable Fonts support,</li>
<li>Remove Resource Hints (preload, preconnect, dns-prefetch) pointing to <code>fonts.googleapis.com</code> or 
 fonts.gstatic.com,
<ul>
<li>Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by forcing the font-display attribute to your Google Fonts,</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by forcing the font-display attribute to all your other fonts! (OMGF Pro required),</li>
</ul>
<h4>Additional Features in OMGF Pro</h4>
<ul>
<li>Smart Optimize automatically detects which fonts, subsets, and weights are actually used on each page — preloading the ones that matter and removing the ones that don’t, to eliminate render-blocking resources and reduce unused CSS.</li>
<li>Magic Fallbacks generates mathematically tuned system font fallbacks that match your Google Fonts’ exact proportions, eliminating layout shift while fonts load.</li>
<li>Automatically configures itself to make sure all externally hosted Google Fonts on your site are hosted locally. OMGF Pro supports:
<ul>
<li><code>@font-face</code> and <code>@import</code> statements inside inline <code><style></code> blocks,</li>
<li><code>@font-face</code> and <code>@import</code> statements inside local stylesheets loaded by e.g. your theme and/or plugins,</li>
<li><code>@font-face</code> and <code>@import</code> statements inside externally hosted stylesheets loaded by your theme and/or 
plugins,</li>
<li>Web Font Loader (<code>webfont.js</code>),</li>
<li>Async Google Fonts (loaded using JS)</li>
<li>Material Icons.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Multisite and WPML support.</li>
<li>Whitelabel stylesheets, which removes branding and comments from the stylesheets to further reduce the size.</li>
<li>Modify your fonts’ <code>src: url()</code> attribute to fully integrate with your configuration,
<ul>
<li>Use this to serve fonts and the stylesheets from your CDN, or</li>
<li>To serve fonts from an alternative path (e.g. when you’re using Security through Obscurity plugins like WP Hide, 
etc.), or</li>
<li>Anything you like!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Developer Mode, which allows you to easily migrate between Development, Staging/Testing, Acceptance and Production 
environments.</li>
</ul>
