WeWeb
WeWeb is a French no code visual front end builder used to create Vue.js powered web apps without writing code. Editors design pages, connect data sources and deploy to production through the WeWeb platform. The runtime is served from the European Union over Cloudflare, with optional plugins that may add cookies subject to consent.
What does WeWeb do?
What WeWeb is and what it does on your published app
WeWeb is a French no code platform that lets teams build production grade Vue.js applications visually. Editors connect REST APIs, Supabase, Xano, Airtable, PostgreSQL and other backends, configure authentication, design pages with drag and drop components and publish to a managed domain or to a custom domain. The runtime consists of a Vue based JavaScript bundle that runs in the visitor browser and orchestrates data fetching, state and rendering.
Cookies and data collected by WeWeb
The default WeWeb runtime sets only strictly necessary cookies for authentication, session and CSRF protection. Any analytics, marketing or chat behaviour comes from explicitly enabled plugins (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Mixpanel, Intercom, Crisp, etc.). Each plugin loads its own scripts and cookies once activated by the builder, and those rules of consent therefore apply.
GDPR and ePrivacy implications
The strictly necessary runtime can rely on legitimate interest or contract performance, depending on the use case. As soon as any non strictly necessary plugin is enabled, Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive applies and prior consent is required. Under the GDPR, the operator of the published app is controller and WeWeb SAS acts as processor, with a Data Processing Agreement signed at sign up.
Hosting and data transfers
WeWeb stores project metadata and customer data on AWS EU regions. Cloudflare is used as global CDN and may route traffic through US edge nodes. Transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR and, where Cloudflare is certified, by the EU US Data Privacy Framework.
Compliance checklist for WeWeb operators
Inventory every WeWeb plugin enabled on the published app, classify each as strictly necessary or requiring consent, integrate a consent manager that blocks non strictly necessary plugins before opt in, sign the WeWeb DPA, list WeWeb and Cloudflare in your record of processing, and inform users in your privacy notice.
WeWeb and the GDPR
- Legal basis
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for the editor itself (used by builders). On published apps, the legal basis depends on the plugins activated: strictly necessary cookies require no consent, analytics and marketing plugins require explicit opt in under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
- Risk level
- low
- Applicable regulations
- GDPR, ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law), French Loi Informatique et Libertés
Impact assessment (DPIA)
A DPIA is recommended when a WeWeb published app processes sensitive data, when it connects to external data sources outside the EEA, or when it integrates third party plugins for analytics, marketing or chat. Map every plugin, document the data flow and review the sub processor list.
Sample text for your banner
This site is powered by WeWeb, a no code app builder hosted in the European Union. WeWeb itself only uses strictly necessary cookies. Additional plugins for analytics, marketing or chat are loaded only after you accept the corresponding consent category.
What WeWeb sets and contacts
- Tracking method
- WeWeb runtime JavaScript bundle loaded on the published app, plus optional plugins (analytics, authentication, data sources) that each load their own scripts and cookies
- Server location
- European Union (WeWeb SAS, France, on AWS Frankfurt and Paris regions). Published apps are served through Cloudflare global CDN.
- Cookieless mode available
- Yes
- Data transferred outside the EU
- WeWeb stores application data in the European Union but uses Cloudflare for global content delivery and may rely on US sub processors for support tooling. Transfers are framed by Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR and complemented by the EU US Data Privacy Framework where Cloudflare or other sub processors are certified.

Frequently asked questions about WeWeb
Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.
What cookies does WeWeb set?
By default the WeWeb runtime only writes strictly necessary cookies (ww_session, ww_csrf, ww_auth, ww_locale). Any other cookie comes from a plugin explicitly enabled by the builder and follows the rules of that specific tool.
Does WeWeb require user consent?
Not for the strictly necessary runtime. Consent becomes mandatory as soon as a non strictly necessary plugin is enabled (analytics, marketing, chat), because Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive then applies.
What is the legal basis for processing under WeWeb?
Legitimate interest or contract performance for the strictly necessary runtime, consent for any non strictly necessary plugin. The exact basis depends on the activated plugins and the purpose of the published app.
Does WeWeb transfer data outside the EU?
WeWeb hosts data on AWS EU regions. Cloudflare CDN may route traffic through US edge nodes; transfers are framed by Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR and, where Cloudflare is certified, by the EU US Data Privacy Framework.
Do I need a DPIA for WeWeb?
A DPIA is recommended when the published app processes sensitive data, when external data sources sit outside the EEA or when third party plugins for marketing or chat are enabled.
How do I implement WeWeb GDPR compliantly?
Audit every plugin enabled on the app, integrate a CMP that blocks non strictly necessary plugins before opt in, sign the WeWeb DPA, list WeWeb and Cloudflare in your record, and document data flows from the published app to external backends.
What are alternatives to WeWeb?
Other no code or low code app builders include Bubble, Softr, Webflow (no native authentication), Retool, Toolkit and FlutterFlow. For EU hosting choose providers with European data residency.
How do I update my cookie policy to include WeWeb?
Mention WeWeb SAS as processor, the strictly necessary cookies set by the runtime, the plugins enabled on the app, the data flows to external data sources, the international transfers via Cloudflare and the consent withdrawal mechanism.
