GDPR issues with Google Font

Hello @pixelverbieger

Good day, and thanks for writing in!

Yes, we are aware of the European GDPR, but Popup Maker doesn’t use Google Fonts in the popup content. The content styling and the use of fonts are handled by your theme or other plugins if there is an available shortcode from other plugins.

For more details about Popup Maker(shortcode: subscription form) and GDPR requirements, kindly check our documentation here.

I hope that helps.

Let us know if you have any questions or clarification on this matter. If this fixes the issue, please take a moment to rate and review the plugin.
If you still need help please message us directly at https://wppopupmaker.com/support/

Hi, thanks for your quick response!

I don’t think this is an issue with other plugins or the used theme.
I just deactivated ALL other plugins and switched to Twenty Twenty One -> problem persists.

Here’s how to reproduce the issue:

New Browser, private mode, Popup Maker 1.16.1 active.
Reload page, web dev tools show a request:
GET https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:100

Browser Source (HTML HEAD) contains:

/* Popup Google Fonts */
@import url('//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:100');

Looking into the plugin’s files, /assets/js/admin-theme-editor.js:129

if (typeof pum_google_fonts[chosen_font] !== 'undefined') {
                url = "//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=" + chosen_font;

Next step: different browser, deactivate Popup Maker.
Back to first browser, reload -> no request for Google Fonts/Montserrat …
(Yet, the cache files in /wp-content/uploads/pum/ still might contain outdated code.)

Hello @pixelverbieger – we apologize for the inconveniences this has caused.

?To disable the loading of Google fonts, you will need to do that under Popup Maker > Settings > Misc (miscellaneous; tab) > Assets (category) and check the Don’t Load Google Fonts box. To make it more clear for you, please see this screencast: https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAuDKPjm

If that helps, then we would very much appreciate it if you could quickly rate the plugin, just to help us spread the word.

Have a great day!

Haha, perfect – that’s exactly the point I was looking for (and obviously not able to find).
