Bunny Fonts

Overview

Bunny Fonts is a privacy-focused web font delivery service operated by Bunny.net, designed as a drop-in replacement for Google Fonts. It serves open-source typefaces from Bunny.net's global CDN without setting cookies, without logging visitor IP addresses, and without performing any cross-site tracking. The service was created specifically to address the GDPR compliance concerns that arose when a German court ruled that loading Google Fonts from Google's servers constituted unlawful transfer of personal data.

Bunny Fonts uses the same API structure as Google Fonts, meaning websites can switch by simply changing the hostname in their font stylesheet URL from fonts.googleapis.com to fonts.bunny.net. No other code changes are needed.

What This Script Does

When Bunny Fonts is loaded on your website, the following occurs:

• CSS delivery: A stylesheet is fetched from fonts.bunny.net that contains @font-face declarations pointing to the appropriate font files for the visitor's browser.
• Font file delivery: The visitor's browser downloads WOFF2 or WOFF font files from Bunny.net's CDN based on the CSS directives.
• No cookies: Bunny Fonts does not set any cookies, localStorage entries, or other persistent identifiers on the visitor's device.
• No logging: According to Bunny.net's privacy policy, visitor IP addresses are not logged or stored. Font requests are served without retaining personal data.
• No tracking: There is no cross-site tracking, no analytics collection, and no behavioral profiling. The service purely delivers font files.

The only network activity is the standard HTTP request to fetch the CSS and font files, which inherently transmits the visitor's IP address to Bunny.net's CDN servers during the connection — but this data is not retained.

Consent & Compliance

Bunny Fonts was specifically designed for GDPR compliance. The service processes no personal data beyond the transient IP address exposure inherent in any HTTP connection, and it does not store this data. No cookies or device identifiers are used.

Under the ePrivacy Directive, Bunny Fonts qualifies as strictly necessary for the presentation of a service explicitly requested by the user — web fonts are required for the page to render as designed. The German court ruling that penalized Google Fonts usage does not apply to Bunny Fonts because the privacy-violating behaviors (IP logging, cross-service data combination) are not present.

Bunny.net operates infrastructure within the EU and complies with GDPR requirements, avoiding the cross-border data transfer issues associated with US-based font services.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Bunny Fonts is a privacy-by-design service that sets no cookies, logs no personal data, and performs no tracking. It serves a strictly functional purpose and is one of the most privacy-compliant font delivery options available.
