Google Fonts: integration, data and consent

Google Fonts is an API or third-party technical service integrated into the website. The data exchanged and applicable requirements depend on the feature and configuration being used.

When Google Fonts uses tracking technologies or processing that requires consent, tarteaucitron can condition its activation on the visitor’s choice.

Managing Google Fonts with tarteaucitron

When Google Fonts is integrated through tarteaucitron, its activation is managed according to the visitor's consent choice. The service can therefore be loaded only when the corresponding permission has been granted and the visitor can later change this choice through the consent interface.

Cookies and storage used by Google Fonts

No cookie name is currently declared in the tarteaucitron integration for Google Fonts. This does not necessarily mean that the service processes no data or uses no other browser storage mechanism.

Configuring Google Fonts

Add the following code to your website after initializing tarteaucitron. Replace the example values with those provided by Google Fonts.

<script>
tarteaucitron.user.googleFonts = 'families';
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('googlefonts');
</script>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.6.24/webfont.js"></script> <script> WebFont.load({ google: { families: ['families'] } }); </script>

For a complete guide, read the documentation to install tarteaucitron.js.

Frequently asked questions about Google Fonts

Does Google Fonts require consent?

The API name alone is not enough to determine whether Google Fonts requires consent. The data transmitted, technologies used and purpose of the service must be considered.

How does tarteaucitron block Google Fonts?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Google Fonts according to the consent choice recorded for the visitor. The service code is triggered through tarteaucitron instead of being loaded independently from the consent manager.
