Overview

What does QUIC.cloud do?

What QUIC.cloud is

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.

Cookies and data

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.

GDPR and ePrivacy posture

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.

Transfers and routing

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.

Implementation steps

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.

Compliance

QUIC.cloud and the GDPR

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for the strictly necessary CDN delivery and security functions. The CDN itself does not set tracking cookies, so Article 5(3) ePrivacy does not require prior consent for the proxy.
Risk level: low
Applicable regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, UK GDPR

Impact assessment (DPIA)

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.

Sample text for your banner

This site uses QUIC.cloud as a CDN to speed up delivery. Visitor IP and request metadata are processed at QUIC.cloud edge nodes under our legitimate interest in security and performance.

Cookies and trackers

What QUIC.cloud sets and contacts

Tracking method: CDN that proxies HTTP requests through edge points of presence using QUIC and HTTP/3, integrated with LiteSpeed Cache. Visitor IP, User Agent, request URL and Referrer are processed at the edge for caching, optimisation and security purposes. No tracking cookies set by the CDN itself.
Server location: Global edge network operated by LiteSpeed Technologies (US), with edge nodes in EU, US, Asia, Oceania and South America
Cookieless mode available: Yes
Data transferred outside the EU: QUIC.cloud is operated by LiteSpeed Technologies (US). EU traffic is served from EU edges, but the control plane is in the United States. Standard Contractual Clauses are required and a Transfer Impact Assessment must be documented.

Write to us

What cookies does QUIC.cloud set?

None directly as a CDN. The CDN proxies requests and caches responses, but cookie issuance is the responsibility of the origin website.

Is consent required for QUIC.cloud?

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.

What is the legal basis for processing through QUIC.cloud?

Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for performance, caching and basic abuse prevention. The IP is processed under that legal basis.

Does QUIC.cloud transfer data to a third country?

EU traffic is normally served from EU edges. The control plane is in the United States (LiteSpeed Technologies). Sign SCCs and document a TIA.

Do I need a DPIA for QUIC.cloud?

Generally no for pure CDN delivery. Recommended when activating image optimisation or DDoS protection that handle visitor uploads or stricter inspection.

How do I implement QUIC.cloud compliantly?

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.

What are the alternatives to QUIC.cloud?

EU friendly CDNs include BunnyCDN (Slovenia), KeyCDN (Switzerland), Fastly (with EU regions), Cloudflare and CDN77 (Czech Republic).

How do I update my cookie policy when adding QUIC.cloud?

Mention QUIC.cloud as a CDN processor, the legal basis (legitimate interest), the routing through EU edges and the SCCs with LiteSpeed Technologies.
