german law doesn't really know "precedent cases". However it looks like a whole new industry of lawyers sueing pages embedding stuff could arise...

Leaking customer data to Cloudflare is also a very interesting question here.
They seem to count CDNs as "hosting providers" and yes, without the necessary legal frameworks in place, this is also a problem if that leaks user data: https://www.technologylawdispatch.com/2021/12/privacy-data-p...
What about "leaking" the IP to your server provider and all the networks between your user and site?
If your website requires CF to reliably deliver data to customers, then it’s unlikely to cause much of a stir.
What about using e.g. Webflow? Can I leak the IP address of the customer if I don't know it myself?
Very good point, the courts in countries with common law work quite differently than where the courts are based on civil law. There is a quite large difference of the two systems.
