Hello,
Really sorry to hear your bad experience about your site issues.
Are you 100% sure that this plugins (Easy Social Icons) deal with cookies? I think there is some misunderstanding, because as a developer of this plugins I can say no where of this plugins uses cookies at all, it does not collect any information of website or user as well, you can verify this with more advanced professional developer.
Can you send more details about how and where (specific code line #) this plugins collecting user or site information?
Thanks

Hi,
I have no code. I am not a developer. I ran my site through GT Metrix. Under the YSlow tab, then “Use Cookie-free domains,” it is indicated that my site has 33 components that are not cookie free. These include:
https://mademers.com/wp-content/plugins/easy-social-icons/css/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=4.7
https://mademers.com/wp-content/plugins/easy-social-icons/css/cnss.css?ver=1.0
https://mademers.com/wp-content/plugins/easy-social-icons/js/cnss.js?ver=1.0
I have no idea what to make of it, only that I am responsible now for ensuring GDPR compliance.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hi,
Font Awesome uses cookies when delivering icons for statistics. I don’t think it takes any personal information. They say When you visit a website that uses a Font Awesome content delivery network to load icons, Font Awesome collects data about what icon files you download and when. – https://fontawesome.com/privacy#cdns
