- quyse 5y agoDoes it mean Google, AWS, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, Akamai, and everybody else (except Hetzner) are now outlawed in Germany? Because, as I said, I cannot ask for consent before serving the initial HTML, unless someone develops a magical IP-less protocol for delivering consent. I'm not sure if even Hetzner server is OK, it's still a third party even if Germany-based.
- kall 5y agoIf we take another ruling [0] seriously, Hetzner is dicy only because they recently added a US datacenter. For the others, yeah. You could rent colo, go with a friendly neighborhood hoster like uberspace or with something like Telekom Cloud (lol).

- perlgeek 5y agoI'm pretty sure this is not correct. There is a technical necessity for your hosting provider to see the user's IP. The GDPR does not require consent for passing on private information when there is a technical or legal necessity, as well as a number of other preconditions.
