The General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) that came into effect on May 25, 2018, oblige the owners of the websites to inform users of the following aspects:
<ul>
<li>Who is responsible for the processing of your data?</li>
<li>What is the purpose for which personal data are collected?</li>
<li>What is the legal basis for collecting the data?</li>
<li>Who can be the recipients of personal data?</li>
<li>What are the rights that users can exercise in terms of data protection?</li>
</ul>
This information, in addition to the Privacy Policy of the web, must be present in a first layer of basic information below each form or data collection channel of the web.
Another obligation for the owners of the websites is to obtain the consent of the users, explicitly, in order to collect and process their data. To obtain this consent, the user must take an action (such as check a checkbox), that is, the users must be aware that they are giving their consent for a specific purpose.
WordPress, although it included in the comment form of the blog a checkbox so that users could save their data in a cookie to be used in the future, didn’t put neither the link to the Privacy Policy nor the first layer of information, obligatory by the regulation. For this reason, this plugin is born, to add those elements and thus the owners of the websites can comply with the law.

GDPR Comments

This plugin allow you to add a checkbox to accept Privacy Policy before add a comment.

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.

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>
