Is CacheNetworks GDPR compliant?

ConsentStack classifies CacheNetworks's trackers as essential (strictly necessary), so its banner does not block them. That is our classification, not a legal ruling. The exemption from prior consent comes from the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) and covers only what is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for, and the GDPR still governs any personal data, such as an IP address, sent to CacheNetworks. List CacheNetworks in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know it is there.
