Does Bunny Fonts require consent to load on my website?

No. Bunny Fonts sets no cookies, logs no visitor IP addresses, and performs no cross-site tracking. It serves web fonts via CDN as a strictly functional service. The German court ruling that penalized Google Fonts for IP logging does not apply to Bunny Fonts due to its privacy-by-design architecture.

How is Bunny Fonts different from Google Fonts for GDPR compliance?

Google Fonts transmits visitor IP addresses to Google's servers and logs them, triggering data transfer concerns that led to court-imposed fines. Bunny Fonts delivers the same open-source typefaces from EU-hosted infrastructure without retaining IP addresses or combining data across services.

How does ConsentStack treat Bunny Fonts?

ConsentStack classifies Bunny Fonts as functional and does not block it. Because Bunny Fonts collects no personal data and sets no cookies, ConsentStack allows it to load freely regardless of consent status. It is one of the few third-party font services that requires no consent configuration.

What tracker domains does Bunny Fonts use?

ConsentStack has catalogued tracker domains for Bunny Fonts including bunny.net. These are the network destinations Bunny Fonts's scripts contact, which a consent platform blocks until a visitor agrees.

Bunny Fonts (bunny.net) - Privacy-Friendly Font Delivery & Consent

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.

Is Bunny Fonts GDPR compliant?

Bunny Fonts typically loads functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Bunny Fonts can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Bunny Fonts, not on Bunny Fonts itself.
