Website adjustments due to GDPR changes 11/2022

The web pages managed by the IVK will be revised and the previous CDN (i.e. content delivery networks) links (i.e. calls) in the individual HTML files will be replaced by local (static) integration of the resources (files of the type javascript, css, webfonts, icons etc.). For more information, see: https://www.ra-plutte.de/lg-muenchen-dynamische-einbindung-google-web-fonts-ist-dsgvo/. In the above-mentioned reference case, the embedded Google fonts were the cause or the subject of dispute; when these fonts are activated, the IP address of the machine from the EU/DSGVO legal area is transmitted unasked to the USA without being asked. In conclusion, this means that all web activities in which an IP address is transmitted to servers in the USA without being asked are illegal in the sense of the GDPR. This also results in the urgent need for action and adaptation, as the above-mentioned files are technically essential for the operation of the websites. Affected are: *.ivdk.org incl. subdomains like dkg.ivdk.org, escca-dc.org, winalldatnet.org and *.winalldatnet.eu
Project duration: 01.11.2022 - 30.11.2022
