Disable CDN calls or way to load them locally

[trendskater]

I’ve noticed that K2 loads the following assets from a CDN (cdnjs):

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/magnific-popup.js/1.1.0/magnific-popup.min.css
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/simple-line-icons/2.4.1/css/simple-line-icons.min.css
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/magnific-popup.js/1.1.0/jquery.magnific-popup.min.js

Could you please explain why these files are required for the extension to function?

Due to strict GDPR (DSGVO) regulations here in Germany, loading files from a third-party CDN without explicit user consent is a legal concern. Therefore, I would like to host these files locally on my own server.

Is there a built-in setting to disable these CDN calls or a recommended way to load them locally? If not, could you please guide me on how to achieve this manually?

Thank you for your help!

CDNJS is the friendliest CDN when it comes to GDPR. This has been discussed many times in the past.

I can only say that external dependencies will gradually be removed as we switch to vanilla JS and SVG icons.

Glad to hear the external dependencies will be phased out eventually. I'll look forward to that.
