Add as many maps as you need, customize each one in WordPress, and insert it with a shortcode. Published by [Tsambasis & Tsambasis](https://tsambasis.net/). [Live Plugin Demo — Tsambasis & Tsambasis](https://plugin-demo.m00dy.org/live-demonstration/). * Unlimited maps without a license key or paid tier. * Separate iframe input and shortcode for each map. * Light, dark and custom designs, with configurable overlay and button colors. * Custom button text and rounded or square buttons. * Separate font sizes for the button, overlay message, privacy text, privacy link and remember-selection label. * An optional message between the load button and privacy notice. * Configurable privacy notice, link text and privacy-policy URL. * Existing map dimensions and theme content-width limits are respected. With the default shortcode, loading does not enlarge the map or reserve control space. * Optional grouped loading: one click loads the maps on that page that also have the group option enabled. * An optional remember checkbox: existing design by default, or a larger modern checkbox and label card selected per map. * A separate reset button anywhere in page content with [dsgvo_map_reset]. * English source text and a German translation, following the WordPress language. * No plugin advertising or developer tracking. #### Fonts, messages and multiple maps Font sizes accept px, em, rem and %. Leave enough map height for the message, privacy link and checkbox, especially on mobile. Under Checkbox design, Modern design (larger checkbox) enables the optional 22px checkbox and styled label card. Existing design remains the default; old maps do not change automatically. The load-all setting is configured per map. Clicking a participating map loads the other participating maps on the same page; maps outside the group remain separate. Explain this scope in the button or overlay text before asking visitors to load the group. #### Consent and the optional cookie Without a remembered choice, the Google Maps iframe is created only after the visitor selects the load button. Selecting the optional remember checkbox before loading sets the first-party cookie `dsgvo_gm_consent=1` for up to 180 days, with path `/`, SameSite=Lax and Secure on HTTPS. This is a site-wide choice for maps with the remember option enabled: those maps can load on later visits without another click. Maps without that option still require explicit loading. Browser settings can block or remove the cookie. The checkbox is optional and initially unchecked. Decide whether to offer remembered consent and describe its effect in your privacy notice. The cookie is a loading preference, not a server-side consent audit log. Place `[dsgvo_map_reset]` anywhere in page content for an always-visible reset button, also on pages without a map. Customize its label with `[dsgvo_map_reset text="Reset my map choice"]`. It clears the site-wide consent cookie, unloads plugin maps on the current page and unchecks their remember boxes. A status message confirms the action; keyboard focus stays on the separate button. Already open maps in other tabs are not unloaded. For a button inside a loaded map, opt in with `[dsgvo_map id="123" show_reset="true"]`; this uses 64px of its configured height. The ordinary map shortcode adds no reset control and keeps its layout. Neither reset method undoes data already sent to Google. Browser settings can also remove the cookie. #### External service: Google Maps Once a map is loaded, the visitor’s browser connects directly to Google. Supported HTTPS embed URLs use `google.com`, `www.google.com`, `maps.google.com`, `google. de`, `www.google.de` or `maps.google.de`; the embed can load additional Google resources. Google receives connection information such as the IP address and browser/device information, and may process cookies or Google-account information. The iframe’s` strict-origin-when-cross-origin` referrer policy sends the website origin to Google, without the page path or query. * [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) * [Google Maps Additional Terms](https://www.google.com/help/terms_maps/) The plugin’s local overlay does not itself load the configured Google iframe before consent or remembered consent. It does not block Google requests made by your theme, other plugins, manually embedded maps or other services. After loading, Google controls the map content and related data processing. The plugin supports consent-based loading; its name is not a guarantee that your website complies with GDPR/DSGVO or other law. You remain responsible for notices, valid consent, withdrawal options and your site’s complete data flows. This is independent software, not an official Google product or legal advice. #### Support and more information Contact the publisher through [Tsambasis & Tsambasis](https://tsambasis.net/).

Install and activate the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. For manual installation, use the `gdpr-dsgvo-compliant-embeds-for-google-maps` folder inside `wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Open Maps > Add New Map, give the map a title and paste its Google Maps iframe code. 3. Configure appearance, text sizes, privacy notice and loading options, then publish the map. 4. Copy its shortcode into a Shortcode block, for example `[dsgvo_map id="123"]`. 5. Test the public page on desktop and mobile, both before and after consent, and update your privacy notice. JavaScript is required to load the map after consent. Maps are managed in WordPress; this plugin does not require a Google Maps API key for the supported share/embed iframe. ## FAQ ### Where do I find the iframe code? Open the location in Google Maps, choose Share and then Embed a map, and copy the iframe HTML. Paste the entire iframe into the map’s settings. A normal location/ share link is not the same as embed code. ### How do I add a map to a page? Insert `[dsgvo_map id="123"]`, replacing 123 with the map ID shown in its editor. You can use multiple map shortcodes on one page. ### Does one click always load every map? No. Grouped loading applies to maps with the load-all option enabled on the same page. A remembered choice can affect later loading as explained in the consent section. ### Can I change the language? The interface follows WordPress. German translations are included; the source language is English. Custom button text, messages and notices remain the text you entered. ### Is there a map limit or paid license? No. The plugin supports unlimited maps without a license key. Hosting and third- party services remain subject to their own terms. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/da552dddb63bc90f0754b737924baeea6439759d62a62ada97d51f2718e5eb2e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfect-1156/)󠁿 [Brisch](https://profiles.wordpress.org/brisch/) 8 di Lui dal 2026 1 reply We just tested the plugin. The page is under "Coming Soon" but as far as we can see, it works perfect, does everything what promised, the website is GDPR compliant! Thanks a lot! @Brisch ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/71a7c930265d7416d647733b6fe12190505ebbcf14ada380265ef5a247cd4c9d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[1A und uneingeschränkt (beliebig viele Karten), keine Werbung](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/1a-und-uneingeschrankt-beliebig-viele-karten-keine-werbung/)󠁿 [mariusa93](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mariusa93/) 5 di Zenâr dal 2026 Einfach zu installieren, intuitiv zu verwenden, die DEMO-Seite hat mich überzeugt. Ein großes Plus sehe ich durch die Option, beliebig viele Google Maps Karten (Embeds) hinzufügen zu können. Das ist bei anderen Plugins meiner Erfahrung nach nicht unbedingt gegeben. Hier gibts keine Werbung / Ads oder dergleichen, einfach ein gut funktionierendes Plugin das tut was es verspricht. Das i-Tüpfelchen ist, dass das Plugin sowohl in Englisch als auch in Deutscher Sprache existiert / übersetzt ist. Von daher 5 Sterne ohne Zweifel. Danke an die Entwickler. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26d967b80c2d226100abe0a1ba7368c636afb3e865b49a9119aebad13a3f021b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks, love it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-love-it-3/)󠁿 [xemanuelx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xemanuelx/) 24 di Jugn dal 2025 Thanks for this plugin.
