I don't really consider the GDPR that messy, compared to other laws.
It's ineffective when people or companies don't comply with it. But all laws have people breaking them and getting away with it.

Regardless, I wasn't attempting to endorse or oppose the GDPR, just pointing this out as something to consider before using this.

Which can also be an issue GDPR-wise and even CDNs can be dubious.
