## Description

### Automatic Google Maps iFrame Blocker

You would like to use embedded Google Maps on your website, but you have to comply
with the guidelines of the GDPR/DSGVO? Maybe you want to speed up your site and 
let the visitor load the map if it’s really necessary? This plugin automatically
blocks embedded Google Maps for you.

Instead of a map, we’ll load a placeholder image to indicate that there is a map
where users can interact with. To make this even more clear, we let you configure
a text displayed to the visitor.

It’s important to block the communication between your visitors and the Google server
for several reasons.
 * **Performance and loading time:** There are tons of reasons
why iFrames are bad for the performance of your site, blocking them on page load
should help your site to load faster. * **Privacy and data protection:** You can
get into legal problems if the visitor has not given you his explicit consent to
forward his data to any third party service (like Google).

These are the main reasons we developed this plugin, it solves these problems by
finding Google maps completely automatically on your site and replacing them with
our temporary placeholder that can be activated by the visitor.

Automatically Swap Google Maps with an Image Placeholder

 * Fully customizable CSS classes for the map placeholder.
 * No setup required, no changes on your Google maps and no extra work for you.
 * No branding necessary, no links to other websites.

Are your visitors protected?

 * Informed the user that a connection to Google is being established.
 * Google Maps can be blocked by the visitor. This can prevent communication with
   a Google server.

Thank you for the plugin. It is working out of the box with different installations.
What would be nice: Either remove the "Map Privacy" Menu entry completely or give
more settings there, like unload the css file and change the svg file + change the
text. Otherwise please remove the menu item because it makes no sense at all. Thank
you!!!

Plugin works as it's supposed to, I'm very grateful for your work! What I would 
appreciate on top is a possibility to set my own text and possibly my own customized
image in the background…

This plugin works flawlessly. It would be nice if admins could point Google's privacy
policy to our respective countries, instead of german site. How could we reach this?
Thank you!
