What This Script Does

  • Served static files (JavaScript, CSS, images) from GitHub repositories via CDN
  • Provided proper content-type headers for raw GitHub files so they could be used directly in web pages
  • Did not set cookies, track users, or serve advertisements
  • The service is no longer operational; requests to RawGit domains will fail or redirect

Frequently Asked Questions

Was consent ever required for RawGit scripts?

No. RawGit was a free CDN service that served static files from GitHub repositories with proper content-type headers. It functioned as passive infrastructure with no cookies, no user tracking, and no advertising. The service is now defunct — any remaining references in codebases should be updated to use alternative CDNs like jsDelivr.

Did RawGit set cookies or collect user data?

RawGit did not set any cookies, did not track users, and did not serve advertisements. It simply delivered static files — JavaScript, CSS, and images — from GitHub repositories via CDN with correct content-type headers. The only data processed was standard HTTP request information inherent to any web server serving files.

How does ConsentStack handle references to RawGit?

ConsentStack classifies RawGit as essential infrastructure. Since the service is now defunct, any detected references to rawgit.com domains will likely result in failed requests. ConsentStack does not block these references but flags them as a defunct CDN. Site owners should migrate remaining RawGit URLs to active alternatives.
