Breach of GDPR?

Rabex

Hey, as far as I can see, buttonizer is loading third party content such as webfonts which is seen as breach of GDPR / data protection regulation in the EU. When will Buttonizer incorporate fonts and make loading third party content optional?

Hey Rabex ,

Thanks for reaching out. Buttonizer is GDPR compatible as you can turn off loading in icons 🙂

If you already have FontAwesome on your site, make sure to go to the settings in the editor, then go to Icon library and disable Import icon Library.

This should disable loading in the icons on your site using Cloudflares public CDN and you can use your own source.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Jasper,

what about the other external resources that are loaded by default:

I turned off the import of the icon library, still there remains cdn.buttonizer.io
I can remember that earlier this was not the case when we used the plugin for other webpages.

Johannes

Hey Johannes ,

Good question! We do not collect any data of users via our CDN. You can read more about how that works on this page where we explain how and why: https://buttonizer.pro/gdpr/

However, if you still only want to load the resources after consent has given, some GDPR and Cookie plugins allow to not load resources of plugins until consent has given.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Cheers,
Jasper

Hi Jasper .
Thank you for the fast response.
The caching was the reason why the change did not show up.
However, I was not able to setup up Borlabs the way that Buttonizer receives the consent information and shows the Button afterwards.
After few tries of different configurations in Borlabs I quit this task and relied that you comply with EU GDPR law in general.

However, I'd be very happy if you would still have more detailed information about setting up Borlabs and buttonizer in the way that Buttons are only shown after consent has been given.
I am aware of this article: https://community.buttonizer.pro/knowledgebase/1426-wait-until-gdpr-consent-given but could not set it up that it works.

Thanks,
Philip
