Is RawGit GDPR compliant?

ConsentStack classifies RawGit'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 RawGit. List RawGit in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know it is there.

Overview

RawGit was a free CDN service that served files directly from GitHub repositories with proper content-type headers. The service is now defunct, though references to RawGit URLs may still appear in legacy codebases.

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

Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Essential / Infrastructure (defunct)
  • GDPR: No consent was required. The service functioned as passive CDN infrastructure.
  • CCPA: Did not collect personal information.
  • ePrivacy: Did not set cookies or access terminal device storage.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. This was essential infrastructure for serving static assets. The service is now defunct, so any remaining references should be updated to use alternative CDNs.
