CDN77 is a European content delivery network by DataCamp Limited that serves static assets from global edge servers without setting tracking cookies, while logging the visitor IP for delivery and security.
CDN77 is a content delivery network operated by DataCamp Limited with operations based in Prague, Czech Republic. It caches static assets such as images, CSS, JavaScript and video on edge servers spread across more than 50 countries, so that a visitor receives those files from a server geographically close to them. The result is faster page loads and reduced load on the origin server.
When a browser requests an asset from a CDN77 domain, the request necessarily transmits the visitor IP address and User Agent string to the edge node serving that asset. CDN77 logs this information for content delivery, caching efficiency and security purposes such as mitigating denial of service attacks. The asset delivery itself sets no tracking cookies, which makes CDN77 a cookieless service from a tracking perspective. The IP address is, however, personal data under the GDPR, a point underlined by German court rulings on third party font and asset loading.
Because no information is stored on or read from the visitor device, the ePrivacy consent rule for cookies and similar storage does not apply to CDN77 asset delivery. The processing of the IP address relies on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and is treated as strictly necessary for secure delivery. CDN77 acts as a data processor, so a data processing agreement with the provider is required.

Serving assets through CDN77 is generally treated as strictly necessary and does not require prior consent, provided no tracking cookies are set. The transmission of the visitor IP to a third party domain should nonetheless be disclosed transparently in the privacy policy, naming CDN77 as a recipient and explaining the delivery purpose.
DataCamp Limited is a European operation, which keeps the core processing within a favourable jurisdiction. Because the edge network is global, an asset can still be served from a point of presence outside the EEA depending on visitor location and routing, in which case the visitor IP reaches that edge node. Any such transfer to a third country should be covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard set out in the data processing agreement.
Sign the CDN77 data processing agreement and confirm the transfer safeguards it references. List CDN77 in your record of processing activities and privacy policy as a delivery processor that receives the visitor IP. Confirm that no tracking cookies are set, keep your asset configuration minimal, and review logs retention. Given the low risk profile, these light measures are usually sufficient.
Websites using CDN77 must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
A full data protection impact assessment is generally not required for CDN77 because it processes only the IP address and User Agent needed for delivery and sets no tracking cookies. Document the processor relationship, confirm a data processing agreement is in place, and note that edge nodes outside the EEA may receive the visitor IP so Standard Contractual Clauses should be referenced. Risk to data subjects is low.

No. CDN77 delivers static assets such as images, scripts and video and does not set tracking cookies for that delivery. The only data involved is the visitor IP address and User Agent, which the edge server logs to deliver the content and protect against abuse.
Generally no. Because CDN77 sets no tracking cookies and serves assets that are strictly necessary for the page to work, the ePrivacy consent requirement does not apply. You should still disclose in your privacy policy that asset requests transmit the visitor IP to CDN77.
The processing relies on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely the secure and efficient delivery of website assets. This is treated as strictly necessary, so a separate consent is not required for the asset delivery itself.
CDN77 is operated by DataCamp Limited, a European operation, so the core processing stays in a favourable jurisdiction. Because the edge network is global, an asset may be served from a node outside the EEA, in which case the visitor IP reaches that node. Any such transfer should be covered by Standard Contractual Clauses in the provider agreement.
A full data protection impact assessment is generally not required. CDN77 processes only the IP address and User Agent needed for delivery and sets no tracking cookies, so the risk to data subjects is low. Documenting the processor relationship and the transfer safeguards is usually sufficient.
Sign the CDN77 data processing agreement, confirm the transfer safeguards it references, and list CDN77 as a delivery processor in your records and privacy policy. Confirm that no tracking cookies are set and review how long delivery logs are retained.
Other content delivery networks include Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, Amazon CloudFront and BunnyCDN. From a privacy standpoint, an EU based CDN such as CDN77 or BunnyCDN can simplify transfer assessments, while US based providers usually require Standard Contractual Clauses for the visitor IP that reaches their network.
Because CDN77 sets no cookies, you do not need a cookie table entry for it. Instead, add CDN77 to the list of recipients in your privacy policy, explain that asset requests transmit the visitor IP for delivery and security, and note that edge nodes may sit outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards.
