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. #### Why is using embedded resources in breach of GDPR? Because of [the way the internet works](https://daan.dev/blog/how-to/google-fonts-gdpr/#h-how-the-internet-works). 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 `access.log`. Once this IP address leaves the European Union, your website is violating the GDPR. #### What does this plugin do? GDPRess scans your homepage for third party scripts (JS) and stylesheets (CSS), and: * Allows you to download or exclude them from downloading. * Parses the stylesheets for loaded font files, downloads them, and rewrites the stylesheet to use the local copies. * Makes sure the local copies of each script/stylesheet are used in your site’s frontend. In short, it makes sure no requests are made to external/embedded/3rd party scripts and stylesheets. ## Skjermbilder * [[ * GDPRess’ Start screen, click Scan Website to start. * [[ * After running the initial scan, external requests are listed. Exclude a file when e.g., you suspect it might not work properly when it’s downloaded. * [[ * Google Analytics is automatically excluded because simply downloading the file is not enough to use it in compliance with GDPR. Click on the link in the tooltip for more information. * [[ * Google Fonts are supported, but when many font families and/or font styles are detected, GDPRess will offer an alternative approach to optimize the request. * [[ * When the selected files are downloaded, the URLs of the local copies are listed. ## Installasjon 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/gdpr-press` directory or install the plugin through WordPress Plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Use the Settings -> GDPRess screen to configure the plugin ## Ofte stilte spørsmål ### Can I remove/preload stylesheets and/or scripts with this plugin? No, because there are other plugins (like Asset Cleanup or Autoptimize) that are already excellent at that. ### GDPRess downloaded a stylesheet/script, but I’m still seeing requests to font files loaded by the stylesheet? GDPRess parses the stylesheet for defined src urls. But if it somehow missed it, I’d love to hear about that, because that might be a bug. Please head over to the support forum and submit a ticket, and include the full URL to the external stylesheet. ### Will this plugin allow me to use Google Analytics in compliance with GDPR? No, because much more is needed than _just_ downloading analytics.js/gtag.js to your server. To [use Google Analytics in compliance with GDPR](https://daan.dev/blog/gdpr/google-analytics-compliance-gdpr/), you need [CAOS Pro](https://daan.dev/wordpress/caos-pro/). ## Vurderinger ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/061ec5c4e043371a9ce9e2ef0a6339a5d55dcd8a61c1e3d999914ed11746d802? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[First Class Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-class-plugin-29/)󠁿 [Orlandoo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/orlandoo/) 3. januar, 2024 1 svar The plugin works as expected for me – even under WordPress 6.4.
