EDGECONSENT: Drop-in GDPR & CCPA compliance for Micro-SaaS.

Traditional cookie banners rely on bloated client-side scripts, leading to race conditions in which trackers fire prematurely before users can even consent. EDGECONSENT fixes this at the CDN edge. It's a sub-millisecond, Cloudflare-native injector that hardcodes default "denied" states before the HTML reaches the browser. Zero databases, zero latency, zero subscriptions. Just a one-time, drop-in script for indie hackers to guarantee GDPR compliance.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share EDGECONSENT with you today. You are probably going to roll your eyes at the thought of another GDPR/CCPA consent banner. You likely assume it's just another heavy, 300kb+, bloated widget that is going to destroy your Core Web Vitals and SEO absolutely. But it seems like every indie maker is stuck in the same trap: we love shipping fast, but we get bogged down by complex data-minimisation laws we don't have the legal training for. The traditional approach is fundamentally broken. Heavy client-side banners load too slowly, causing tracking scripts to fire illegally before the user actually makes a choice. How are you supposed to ship fast and stay compliant when traditional tools literally put you at risk of fines or app store bans? I realised handling this on the client side at all makes no sense. So, I moved the entire compliance layer to the CDN edge. By utilising a Cloudflare Worker, EDGECONSENT acts as a V8 isolate script that injects a hardcoded "denied" state directly into the HTML response head before it even reaches the browser window. The result? ⚡ Sub-millisecond execution (<1ms) 🛡️ Zero race conditions 💾 Zero database or API maintenance It evolved from a "better banner" into a "sachetised", drop-in digital asset that you configure once, deploy to your edge, and own forever. Would it be a ridiculous idea to drop the bloated widgets and test an edge-based approach for your next project? Even if you decide to stick with your current setup, massive respect to all of you building and shipping every day. I'd love to hear your thoughts or feedback, and to answer any questions you have about edge-based compliance!
