Building privacy-compliant websites
Cookie banners, fonts, forms and third parties: what matters for a GDPR-compliant website.
Why privacy is not a side issue
Warning letters over externally loaded fonts or missing consent have shown that privacy affects every website. At the same time, handling data carefully builds trust with visitors.
The most important points
- Self-host fonts instead of loading them from Google
- Tracking and marketing services only after consent
- A cookie banner with an equally prominent “Reject”
- A complete imprint and an up-to-date privacy policy
- Forms with only the necessary fields
- Data processing agreements with host and service providers

Technology that makes privacy easier
Modern frameworks serve fonts and images themselves and load third parties only when needed. Videos and maps can sit behind a click placeholder until the visitor actively loads them.
