As someone who prefers to focus on the product, post GDPR, here are some technologies which are just safer to not have, even on a non-ad-driven website, unless you like spending time arguing with lawyers and bureaucrats:
1. Analytics
2. Third-party resources
3. CDNs
4. DDOS protection services
What else am I missing?
- tpxl 3y agoYou can do a lot of analytics without touching personal data. Page view counts, countries people visit from (assuming it's low enough granularity (not personally identifiable) and you don't use a third party service), times people visit. All the juicy stuff, really. You can use third-party resources if you self host them (like fonts, images, videos, ...). Not sure about CDNs, but I don't think a global CDN that's GDPR compliant can exist.
