MegaDeal II - Google Fonts stored directly on the web hosting

Asked by FREESERVIS 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hello,

how is it possible to use Google fonts in a template without downloading from Google servers? A German court ruled in January 2022 that using Google Fonts downloaded from their servers is illegal (violation of GDPR) and is punishable by a fine.

@FREESERVIS .s.r.o.
This is due to the extension "mod_improved_ajax_login" which loads another font from Google.
-> @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Carme:');

Please also note that the cookie consent you use is not DSGVO and EU law compliant.
The user must be allowed to determine whether he or she wants to use the services before calling up Google, for example.

Hello,

I made the settings according to the help sent.
When I put the page in the scanner https://www.e-recht24.de/google-fonts-scanner it's still not right :-(

Your website is at risk of being warned.
Google Fonts is not integrated in compliance with GDPR.
