Hi Enfold team,
I assume that this is not covered by your support, but maybe you could still give me some advice:
we have received a written warning from a lawyer because we would use dynamic google fonts on our website (where the IP address of the visitor would be sent to Google in the US which should be a violation of personal rights if it´s without permission).
In fact – as we now found out – a dynamic google font was used in the google maps tooltip (so we’ve removed google maps for now).
Apart from that we are using font files that we have licensed/purchased from myfonts.com and which may be stored locally in the child theme (please see screenshot 1).On a website where you can have your own website checked for data protection violations, it was shown that page view tracking from MyFonts (myfonts counter) was integrated into our website (please see screenshot 2 + 3).
This could equate to the problem with the google fonts mentioned at the beginning.
So I tried to delete the myfonts counter but I could not locate this function.Do you perhaps have an idea where to find this function or where to deactivate it?
Thank you very much in advance for a short reply.
Best regards,
fkmHi fkm,
Please check this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/loading-google-fonts-locally-for-gdpr-compliance/
Hope this helps.Best regards,
NikkoHi Nikko,
thank you very much for your quick reply and the link.
I think I’ve already included the webfonts correctly (hosting from my hosters server, not Google´s) following the instructions in the Enfold docs.
The post on how to remove Roboto from Google Maps is also very helpful.
Thank you for that (it allows me to use Google Maps again).What remains is the problem with side tracking function (myfonts counter):
Maybe the problem comes from earlier, because before there was the possibility to upload webfonts via Enfold > import/export, a friend of mine had integrated the webfonts in a different way (and with that maybe the MyFonts counter as well) – unfortunately I can´t reach this friend anymore.
I found a folder with the (old) webfonts files (and also a corresponding entry in the child theme function.php) on my child theme and already deleted it, but the counter still seems tol be active from somewhere (please see screenshot) and I can´t locate/deactivate it.Do you have any idea how to find and fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best rgards,

fkmHi fkm,
Thanks for giving us admin access.
I was able to find the code that add to your myfonts counter, you can see it in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
I just commented out the CSS code so it will not run but you should be able to see it.
Please try to check if the counter still shows.Best regards,
NikkoHi Nico,
you are right, there it is (I can see it).
Now the counter doesn´t show anymore – I just checked.
Problem solved. What a relief.Thank you so much, Nikko.
Best regards,
fkm
