<p>In January, 2022 <a href="https://ffw.press/blog/gdpr/google-fonts-violates-gdpr-germany/" rel="nofollow ugc">a German court ruled</a> that a website owner was in breach of GDPR and should pay a € 100,- fine, because embedded Google Fonts were used, essentially transferring the user’s personal data (IP address) without the user’s prior consent.</p>
<h4>What’s embedding?</h4>
<p>When an external (i.e. loaded from another server, besides your own) resource is embedded into a webpage, it basically means that the resource behaves as if it’s loaded from the same server hosting the webpage.</p>
<h4>Why is using embedded resources in breach of GDPR?</h4>
<p>Because of <a href="https://ffw.press/blog/how-to/google-fonts-gdpr/" rel="nofollow ugc">the way the internet works</a>. When a browser (i.e. computer) requests a file (e.g. an image or a font file), the server needs the IP address of that computer to send it back. All these requests (including the IP address) are logged in a so-called <code>access.log</code>.</p>
<p>Once this IP address leaves the European Union, your website is violating the GDPR.</p>
<h4>What does this plugin do?</h4>
<p>GDPRess scans your homepage for 3rd party scripts (JS) and stylesheets (CSS), and:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allows you to download or exclude them from downloading,</li>
<li>Parses the stylesheets for loaded font files, downloads them, and rewrites the stylesheet to use the local copies,</li>
<li>Makes sure the local copies of each script/stylesheet are used in your site’s frontend.</li>
</ul>
<p>In short, it makes sure no requests are made to external/embedded/3rd party scripts and stylesheets.</p>

Good job! Works even on my WP6++ sites.

Checked in Browser and it works as expected.

Thanks for this plugin.
