Do you embed resources (scripts, fonts, multimedia) from third parties and their servers? (CDNs that you use—upload to—excluded.)

Please respond depending on where you’re based (or, if you largely develop for an organization, where that org is based).

@j9t I am pretty confused about the answers here. I wonder if folks who answer self-host in the eu do that in a corporate environment. There‘s a bunch of reasons why you either can‘t or have no benefit in terms of privacy.

For instance, if you host a third party script, that script might potentially still communicate outside of the eu. In legal terms, the possibility of that already blocks you from running it without consent, while also defies any ambitions about actual privacy.

@AES, that’s true. The survey is too simple in that more needs to be checked, like what’s being hosted. There’s a spectrum in terms of assets to be hosted and risks these come with.
