GDPR-friendly Google Fonts API Alternative hosted on privacy-focused BunnyCDN
Found this the other day when I was doing some research in the light of Google Fonts API violating GDPR according to a German court ruling.
Sounds like a nice solution if you don't want to self-host Google Fonts and want a straight forward CDN-powered solution. The example seems easy enough to implement 
The project is also on GitHub.

Actually nice but then you have to trust coollab.io. idk.. I prefer self hosted.
What I don't understand is why is using Google Fonts a privacy issue, and using BunnyCDN isn't.

If you see here, fonts.googleapis.com is also hosted in Google's internal CDN, so when connecting from Germany, it connects to a german server.
This is no legal advice and I don't know if Bunny is "really" better in terms of privacy. However, they state on their website that they anonymize IPs and do some other stuff in order to comply with GDPR. Furthermore, they are a company based in Europe. Not that makes everything better by default, but I could imagine the German court ruling would have, perhaps, been different if it had been a European company.

@webcraft as long as Coollabs is as "small" as it is now, I would probably also prefer self-hosted. If it got bigger and more acknowledged at some point, I might use them.

Because Google is under US jurisdiction, no matter where the servers are. If a US court tells them to do something that would be prohibited under EU laws, they would follow US laws and not EU laws. A Europen provider would not be in reach for US laws or US government agencies.
