Global CDN and image optimisation service operated by LiteSpeed Technologies, integrated with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress and Magento.
QUIC.cloud is a content delivery network and edge optimisation service built and operated by LiteSpeed Technologies. It pairs natively with the open source LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress, Magento and Drupal, accelerating delivery via QUIC and HTTP/3 edges, image optimisation, ESI and DDoS protection.
QUIC.cloud as a CDN proxy does not set tracking cookies. It processes the visitor IP, request URL, headers and User Agent at the edge to serve the cached response, mitigate abuse and optimise images. The origin website remains responsible for any application cookies it sets.
CDN delivery is generally a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Because QUIC.cloud does not write information to the device, Article 5(3) ePrivacy does not apply to the proxy itself. Any cookies the origin sets remain subject to their own legal basis.

EU visitors are normally served from EU edges. The QUIC.cloud control plane is run by LiteSpeed Technologies in the United States. Sign Standard Contractual Clauses, run a Transfer Impact Assessment and document the routing in your RoPA.
Sign the QUIC.cloud DPA, configure EU edge preference where needed, restrict the WAF and bot mitigation rules to the minimum, document the CDN in your RoPA and disclose its usage and the legal basis (legitimate interest) in your privacy notice.
Websites using QUIC.cloud must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
A DPIA is generally not required for QUIC.cloud as a pure CDN. It is sensible when you also activate the QUIC.cloud DDoS protection or image optimisation features that may temporarily store visitor uploads on the edge.

None directly as a CDN. The CDN proxies requests and caches responses, but cookie issuance is the responsibility of the origin website.
Not for the proxy itself, because Article 5(3) ePrivacy does not apply to a service that does not access the user device. Origin cookies still need their own legal basis.
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for performance, caching and basic abuse prevention. The IP is processed under that legal basis.
EU traffic is normally served from EU edges. The control plane is in the United States (LiteSpeed Technologies). Sign SCCs and document a TIA.
Generally no for pure CDN delivery. Recommended when activating image optimisation or DDoS protection that handle visitor uploads or stricter inspection.
Sign the DPA, configure EU edge preference, restrict WAF rules to the minimum, document the CDN in your RoPA and mention legitimate interest in your privacy notice.
EU friendly CDNs include BunnyCDN (Slovenia), KeyCDN (Switzerland), Fastly (with EU regions), Cloudflare and CDN77 (Czech Republic).
Mention QUIC.cloud as a CDN processor, the legal basis (legitimate interest), the routing through EU edges and the SCCs with LiteSpeed Technologies.
