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.

exovia GDPR Google Maps

exovia GDPR Google Maps enables you to integrate Google Maps in a privacy compliant manner that respects the privacy of your visitors.

Schweizer Solutions GmbH

The Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO, EU-DSGVO, GDPR) stipulates that a site visitor must have the option to object to the collection by Google Analytics.
Until now, this was only possible via browser addon, or complicated JavaScript code embedding on the own website. With this plugin, this is child’s play and the user also has the option to undo the objection.

Regularly check whether the settings are still data protection compliant!
Ever edited the privacy policy page and accidentally deleted the opt-out shortcode? Recently deleted the plugin for Google Analytics tracking, then reinstalled it and forgot to re-enable IP anonymization?
To ensure the highest security, the plugin regularly checks the settings. Should a setting no longer fit, then an error message appears in the WP Admin (Backend / Dashboad) or you will receive an email. 
You can freely choose the frequency of the check. The following intervals are available: daily, weekly or monthly.
The following settings are checked:
<ul>
<li>Opt-Out function enabled</li>
<li>Opt-Out shortcode present on the page</li>
<li>Page with the shortcode publicly available (published and no password protection)</li>
<li>Valid UA-Code found (only the formatting is checked)</li>
<li>IP anonymization enabled (Works only in conjunction with a compatible plugin or the tracking code is stored in the plugin)</li>
</ul>
Integrated compatibility with the following plugins
It is not a requirement to use the listed plugins! The Google Analytics Opt-Out Plugin is also compatible with other plugins and can be used even if the Google Analytics code itself was inserted. 
With integrated compatibility, we make work easier because the current UA-Code is automatically read out and kept up to date. This means that it does not have to be corrected manually.

AUTOMATICALLY current privacy policy
Keeping track of all the GDPR legislative changes is not easy. Especially not next to the core business. That’s why we offer you a data protection generator with our partner <a href="https://schweizer.solutions/datenschutzgenerator" rel="nofollow ugc">easyRechtssicher</a>. 
The privacy policy is created ONCE and automatically kept up to date in WordPress itself. No more filling out forms again and copying and pasting privacy statements onto the page, it’s completely automated.

Opt-Out for Google Analytics (DSGVO / GDPR)

Well deserved review for implementing a mega advertising banner which appears in the whole admin area, no matter if you are on the plugin settings page or not.


I hope this ad pays off.

Mega ad banner in the whole admin area

Allows the user to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking. DSGVO / GDPR.
