    Great plugin. But I can’t recommend it, because it loads FontAwesome via Cloudflare CDN. This is not acceptable in EU. How do I disable this?

    Hello, right now it is not possible, I will check if it’s possible to include FA locally.

    Could you provide a link to help us understand, why assets loaded via CDNs are not allowed in EU?

    Thank you for your reply.

    Generally speaking it’s currently not allowed to send EU users data to USA without consent while there isn’t a new framework in place.

    While the CDN’s location might not be in USA, Cloudflare itself is based in USA and therefore it could be that data might be transferred to USA (beware even the ip address is considered personal data in EU).

    I personally wouldn’t mind but I can’t set my clients at risk of getting sued. And yes, it happened before: https://www.taylorwessing.com/en/insights-and-events/insights/2021/12/vg-wiesbaden-prohibits-use-of-content-delivery-networks

    We added option to load FA from a local server under CMP Advanced > Misc Settings in latest update 4.1.2 ??

    Cheers Ales
