== Description ==
Element Bits adds a growing collection of lightweight, easy-to-use widgets to Elementor page builder, helping you build beautiful pages faster.

2. Search for "Element Bits"
3. Click "Install"
4. Click "Activate"
5. Navigate to Elementor > Element Bits and enable the elements you need. If you want to use the Maps element you will also need a Google Maps API Key.

Manually via FTP:

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through the WordPress plugins screen.  
2. Activate the plugin via the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.  
3. Enable desired widgets from **Element Bits → Settings**.  

== External services ==

This plugin loads the **Google Maps JavaScript API** (`https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js`) whenever a page displays the **EB Google Map** widget or block.

* **Purpose** – the script is required to draw the map and place the marker at the latitude/longitude you configure.  
* **When it runs** – we enqueue the script only on front-end requests that actually contain the map widget.  
* **Data sent to Google** – the visitor’s browser requests the file from Google’s CDN, transmitting the IP address and standard browser headers. If you enable the widget’s “Detect my position” option, the browser will first ask the visitor’s permission to share its precise location; no geolocation data is sent unless the visitor consents.  
* **Provider** – Google LLC. See the [Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms) and the [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
