> There is no need to ask for consent for every Stylesheet you load from a CDN. You’re allowed to use cloudflare, cloudfront, fastly,… - they’ll all provide the required DPA that allows you to use them without consent.

And Google doesn't? (Honest questions)

On first look serving a font from Google and a stylesheet from Cloudflare seem very, very similar things.

The primary difference is that you usually have a contract with cloudflare that they host and serve your data on your behalf. A DPA would usually be part of the contract. Cloudflare also doesn’t mine the IP addresses that they gather as part of their operations to build advertising profiles.

AFAIK google fonts does not require any contract. Google could certainly offer a contract, a DPA, etc., assert that they are subject to the GDPR and waive processing of the data they gather from operating google fonts as a service.
