EU Privacy Policy law – Block Google Map

[Frank]

I run a German WordPress site with Store Locator Plus WordPress and Power Addon. In Germany we have to block Google Maps, unless the visitor allows it. A Cookie Banner does this request. In my Cookie banner (From Borlabs), I can set up a script Blocker. This means, some scripts will not run when the page opens, unless the visitor clicks “Show Map”. Now these Scripts will be loaded by Banner scripts. I tried to configure this with Store Locator plus. Blocking runs fine, but I can not reactivate the maps on click. Now my question: Which Java Script or Scripts do I have to block and can the map be loaded and shown, when the Cookie banner scripts activates these scripts. This is where Store locator runs: https://naturverbund.de/rheinland/

Why do you have to block Google MAPS?  With the Power add-on you can use Location sensor and the visitor would then click on Allow or not.  That would alleviate your policy issue I assume.  We have not had any of our European customers say they have to block Google Maps

You do have an error on that page with the “slideshow” not being present. Error message  Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ().https://naturverbund.de/vendor/assets/uikit/js/components/slideshow-fx.min.js?ver=6.0.2 Could  prevents the page from loading

Blocking javascript will break SLP.
