exovia GDPR Google Maps enables you to integrate Google Maps in a privacy compliant manner that respects the privacy of your visitors.
You would like to integrate Google Maps on your website and are looking for a data protection compliant solution? You would like to show your website visitors where to find you, but at the same time you want to respect their privacy?
This is exactly where trusted plugin supports you and ensures that you can integrate Google Maps on your website free of charge and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Instead of a map, we load a colored placeholder of your choice in the first step. Supplemented by a few words of your own, it becomes an attractive interaction surface for your visitors.
No data will be transferred to Google until your visitors click on the consent button. Only then will the correct map be loaded and your selected address displayed in Google Maps.
Both your placeholder and your Google Maps are mobile optimized and automatically adjust to the display size. You can also give both of them a maximum width to achieve the best optical result.
In this way you can protect the privacy of your visitors in accordance with DSGVO and at the same time give them the desired orientation to find you.
Here you can find a live demo of a GDPR map created with the plugin.

The General Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO) is a legal framework regulating the collection and processing of personal data of persons living in the European Union (EU).
The Regulation applies regardless of where websites are located.
It must be complied with by all websites that attract European visitors. Even if goods and services are offered that are not specifically aimed at EU citizens.
Shortcodes are short code characters that allow you to add dynamic elements, such as Google Maps, within your WordPress content area in compliance with your privacy policy.
The shortcut for the plugin is [exactly-gdpr-map]
.
The shortcode can be added either via normal text widgets or, best of all, via the shortcode widget [/], which is specially designed for short codes.
HTML widgets are not suitable for this.
Just use the extra for shortcodes provided Gutenberg block, which is included by default in WordPress.
