Ataiva W3 is an open source static website tooling package that runs at build time. The generated site is fully static and sets no tracking cookies by default.
Ataiva W3 is an open source tooling library for building static websites. It runs at build time on the developer''s machine or CI pipeline and produces plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript files that can be served from any web host.
Ataiva W3 itself does not set cookies. The generated output is fully static and only sets cookies if the website operator integrates additional services such as analytics, tag managers or commenting widgets in the templates.
No data is sent to Ataiva infrastructure. All processing happens locally during the build. The site is then served from the operator''s chosen host, so data location depends entirely on that hosting choice.

Because Ataiva W3 does not process personal data at runtime, no specific legal basis or user consent is needed for the tool itself. Standard legitimate interest covers the operation of the static site under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Audit any third party integrations you add on top of the static site, choose an EU host where possible, set strong security headers, and keep the Ataiva W3 dependency up to date. No DPA is required with Ataiva when the tool is used purely as a build dependency.
Websites using Ataiva W3 must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
A DPIA is generally not required for Ataiva W3 because the tool itself does not process personal data. A DPIA may be needed for any analytics or third party integration you add on top of the generated static site.
Sample consent text
No consent is required for Ataiva W3 itself. If you add analytics or third party widgets to your static site, request consent for those services only.

Ataiva W3 does not set any cookies on its own. The package only runs at build time to generate static HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Any cookies present on the resulting website come from third party services added by the operator.
No. Ataiva W3 produces a purely static site and does not load anything at runtime by itself, so it does not trigger the ePrivacy consent requirement. Consent is only relevant for any third party scripts you add to your site.
Because Ataiva W3 does not process personal data, no specific Article 6 GDPR basis applies to the tool. Standard legitimate interest covers server logs and any minimal data your hosting provider may record.
No. The tool runs locally during your build and never contacts Ataiva servers with visitor data. International transfers depend solely on where you choose to host the generated static files.
A DPIA is generally not required for Ataiva W3 since the tool does not process personal data. A DPIA may be needed only if the site that you build with it processes personal data in a high risk way.
Keep the dependency up to date, audit any third party integrations you add, prefer an EU host for the generated site and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy. Document Ataiva W3 as a build dependency only.
Other privacy friendly static site generators include Hugo, Eleventy, Astro and Jekyll. All of them produce static output with no built-in tracking and can be hosted on EU infrastructure.
You do not need to mention Ataiva W3 in your cookie policy because the tool sets no cookies. List only the analytics, advertising or commenting third parties that you integrate on top of the generated site.
