Google Fonts Usage (GDPR Concern)
Your website loads Google Fonts from remote servers, which may transfer user data to Google without proper consent for EU users.
Why This Matters
Loading fonts from Google servers creates connections to Google, potentially sharing user IP addresses and browsing behavior with Google, which may violate GDPR if not properly disclosed and consented to.
How to Fix
Framework-specific solutions and general best practices
Host fonts locally or use privacy-friendly alternatives. If using Google Fonts, implement proper cookie consent mechanisms and update your privacy policy to disclose this data sharing.
