Google Fonts API is a visualisation service that allows websites to use fonts hosted on Google's servers.
Google Fonts doesn't use cookies to track website's visitors, and Google maintains that they don't track any data. However, if Google Fonts API is used to host the fonts, it's possible that users IPs are passed to Google.
A german court decided that the leak of IP addresses to Google Fonts API is a breach of GDPR and the websites was fined.
ConsentMagic will scan your site for scripts and cookies and detects if the Google Fonts API is used.
Our consent messages will include information about the use of Google Fonts, and ask for visitors’ permission.
If the visitor doesn’t agree to the use of Google Fonts, ConsentMagic will replace the Google Fonts API with self-hosted fonts.
