drakkar.one map
drakkar.one lets you add a map to your WordPress site without Google Maps, without API keys, and without setting a single cookie.
Why use this instead of Google Maps?
- No Google Cloud billing account or API key required
- No cookies — so no cookie banner needed for the map
- GDPR/DSGVO-compliant: map tiles served from EU infrastructure, no visitor data collected
- No competitor businesses shown on your map
- Lightweight — a fraction of the size of a Google Maps embed
- Flat monthly pricing with a free tier (no per-load billing surprises)
Map tiles are based on OpenStreetMap and served from Cloudflare’s edge network, so they load fast everywhere.
How it works: Create a map widget at dash.drakkar.one, copy the widget ID, and drop it into a Gutenberg block or shortcode. That’s it.
Built by a former HERE engineer who worked on navigation systems for BMW, Audi, VW, and Porsche.

This plugin relies on the drakkar.one service to display map widgets. When a page containing the widget is loaded, the visitor’s browser will:
- Load the widget script (
w.js) fromcdn.drakkar.one. - Fetch the widget configuration (map center, zoom, pins, style) from
cdn.drakkar.one. - Load vector map tiles from
tiles.drakkar.one. - Load map fonts and sprites from
cdn.drakkar.one.
No cookies are set. No personal data is collected or transmitted to drakkar.one by the widget. Standard HTTP requests (IP address, user agent) are processed by Cloudflare’s CDN infrastructure as part of content delivery.
This service is provided by drakkar.one (Kirill Zhuchkov, Germany):
