If using Google Fonts without explicit informed consent is a GDPR violation then this surely is too?
- tom1337 2y agoYou've probably agreed to that somewhere in the Terms Of Service and therfore gave consent
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y agoIt seems GDPR authorities don't think like that. There's probably a reason OP included "informed" in their comment.
- rustc 2y agoFrom what I've read online, that would not be enough. According to https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/ https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/ > Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. In order to obtain freely given consent, it must be given on a voluntary basis. The element “free” implies a real choice by the data subject. Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid. Declining terms of service will affect the outcome so it can't be considered "freely given consent".
