    Hello,

    we all know google fonts are actual a problem with GDPR.

    There is possible to optimize you plugin for block google fonts and load them after accepting cookies? The same like Youtube, Maps, … but only with google fonts.

    I am not a programmer… its only a question.

    Hello @tobias992,

    Thank you for your suggest!

    Hello @tobias992,
    I was making some research about the problem you mentioned and found this:

    …

    Use of Google Fonts is unauthenticated. No cookies are sent by website visitors to the Google Fonts API. Requests to the Google Fonts API are made to resource-specific domains, such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com, so that your requests for fonts are separate from and do not contain any credentials you send to google.com while using other Google services that are authenticated, such as Gmail.

    …

    from here https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#what_does_using_the_google_fonts_api_mean_for_the_privacy_of_my_users

    Do you have official resources that confirm the use of cookies with Google Fonts?
    Otherwise, I think that in this moment I can leave Google Fonts unblocked.

    Let me know, Nicola.

    Hello,

    sorry for my late reply.

    I know… google fonts dont use cookies.

    I only mean… maybe its possible to block the download from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com first… and after accept cookie police the fonts will be loaded.

    Sorry for my bad english… i hope you know what i mean.

    Hello @tobias992,
    I understand the behavior you would like to get.
    But sincerely I do not understand why.

    It seems that the behavior you describe is not related to cookies, so why SCK should block Google Fonts?

    Maybe there is an alternative way to accomplish your idea:
    the next release of SCK will fire a Javascript event when it has checked (on every page load) that user has accepted statistics or profiling cookies. You could use one of those events to add the Google Fonts to the page. In this way, Google Fonts will load only if user has accepted cookies.

    Nicola
