4. WordPress & Elementor Functions
This site uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache. For this purpose, your browser connects to Google’s servers. Google thus learns that your IP address has accessed my website.

If you prefer to disable this, you can configure your browser settings accordingly.
Standard WordPress installations may load content from external domains such as s.w.org (for Emojis) or gstatic.com to ensure correct rendering. This involves transmitting your IP address to these servers based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
