How flags are stored and loaded

The plugin includes about 300 flags (countries, territories and US states) in three sizes. They are PNG images stored in the plugin folder, so:

• No outside requests. No flag CDN, no tracking, nothing to add to your privacy policy for flags.
• Sharp on every screen. The browser picks the right size for the screen, including high-resolution phones and laptops.
• Shaped for your style. The Flag shape setting (Trigger tab) shows flags as a circle, a rounded rectangle or a square. In a circle, the flag fills the whole circle.

Flags are credited to Flagpedia.net / flagcdn.com on the About tab. They are bundled with the plugin and never loaded from their servers.
