GDPRess can be downloaded for free without any paid subscription from the official WordPress repository.
In January 2022 a German court ruled that a website owner was in breach of GDPR and should pay a € 100,- fine, because embedded Google Fonts were used, essentially transferring the user’s personal data (IP address) without the user’s prior consent.
¿Qué es la incrustación?
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.
¿Por qué el uso de recursos incrustados incumple el RGPD?
Because of the way 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.
Cuando esta dirección IP sale de la Unión Europea, tu web está violando el RGPD.
¿Qué hace este plugin?
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.
- Asegura que las copias locales de cada script/hoja de estilos se usan en la vista pública de tu sitio.
En resumen, se asegura de que no se hagan solicitudes a scripts y hojas de estilos externas/incrustadas/de terceros.
