    Hello, and thanks for the plugin. Really easy to use. I am in the EU and therefore I am required to ask consent from users before loading a map since the map accesses a user’s IP to provide them with the tiles. Would it be possible to self-host the tiles, or solve this problem another way? I don’t have any other such problem, and getting a cookie plugin only for OSM is unnecessary.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi and thanks for the feedback.

    I’m not sure that I have an answer to that, as I don’t know if and how this issue could be handled. On a quick search that I made, it seems that to self host the tiles you would need to setup a tile server, which is out of the scope of the plugin.

    If you know more on the subject, or if you are aware of a similar implementation, please let me know so that I can take a look.

    No, I am not aware of any specific implementation. It is ok though. Thank you for such a really easy to use plugin 🙂

    Hi again.

    I tried the free version of Complianz, and I got it to work with a bit of help from their support. For anyone interested:


    In free complianz, you could go to the Integrations page, turn off the OpenStreetMap service which is broken with your plugin, and then scroll down to the Script center, and specifically to the “Block a script, iframe or plugin”. There, you will add the stuff shown in the photo here. This solved my problem and now I can’t see the requests to OpenStreetMap tile servers on the first load, but they do load once you accept the terms.

    Apparently I had made a mistake. Now everything works with default OpenStreetMap service on free Complianz integrations being enabled, and the linked settings under “Block a script/etc”.
