Does funtion map / google map send data?

Hi,

due to upcoming GDPR just wondering if the map functionality / google maps build in your theme is sending any data?
Web console does only show some "get" elements but no "post" so I assume the way you integrated it, it does not send data?

  • Hi Stefan,
    You send a request to the API and you get a JSON file which gets parsed into the themes map.
    You should contact the google dev community for more detailed answers about this.
    thanks
  • Will BeTheme's implementation of google maps be updated to use maps.googleapis.com rather than maps.google.com? 


    p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Courier; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}
    span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
    Google's documentation recommends using maps.googleapis.com. When loaded from maps.googleapis.com, the maps api doesn't rely on the exchange of cookies with google. 

    But when loaded from maps.google.com, the map's javascript sets cookies. 

    For GDPR compliance, it's better if BeTheme is able to use Google maps without setting cookies. 

    p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Courier; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}
    span.s1 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none}
    span.s2 {font-kerning: none}
  • Hi,
    We are currently working on it. There will be two map items that will be compliant with the GDPR.
    It will be available in the upcoming update.
    Thanks.
  • Hello,
    on 8:06 was already update but the function is not included?
    When do you think Google Map GDPR is displayed?
    Or could not make map load until the visitor accepts the privacy policy?
  • Google maps are GDPR complient,
    Google recommends contacting a professional in this field in your country.

    Thanks.
