I'm not sure that's how it works. Couple of things (IANAL): 1. I don't think ip address alone constitutes PII but needs to be combined with other data to be applicable 2. Even if it were, I would imagine it falls under article 6 provisions where ip is required information to fulfill a contract which in case of HN as an example means delivering the web page to the browser

> 1. I don't think ip address alone constitutes PII but needs to be combined with other data to be applicable According to courts just the IP is considered enough: The decision says IP addresses represent personal data because it's theoretically possible to identify the person associated with an IP address, and that it's irrelevant whether the website or Google has actually done so.[1] [1]https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/31/website_fine_google_fonts_gdpr/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/31/website_fine_google_f... Of course this was a case where sending the IP to Google was not necessary to operate the site, as self hosting the fonts was an option.

  Yes, but that's not using the site, that's logging the IP.
