But you know what's great about Bunny.net? You pay them money, not a ton of money, but you pay them for a product.

You are not the product and neither are your web visitors. Bunny.net, I don't know if I spoke about this
0:15
at the beginning, but Bunny.net is based in Europe and they're a very privacy-oriented company. You can think of them a little bit similar
0:22
to like ProtonMail and those types of companies that are European-based, more about providing privacy to their users and so on.

And when they realized the same problem that we just discussed, they said, "Hey, you know we have this cool CDN, maybe we could solve this problem."

So they came up with this idea of having their own parallel version of Google Fonts that is compatible from an

API or from a way in which you use it with Google Fonts so it's super easy to switch between. So here you can see, on their fonts page and about.

1:06
"with zero tracking and no logging policy. "Bunny.Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant, "and it's fast because it's over the same network
1:13
"all your other stuff is going over." And the UI looks incredibly simple, similar. You'll come down here and you're like,
1:21
"All right, well, let me go find the font type "I'm looking for," and you can search for it, and then add the different variations
1:29
and come up with a thing to include here in page to solve exactly the same problem. But instead of going through Google,
1:35
which adds on these ad tracking, retargeting pieces of information, it just provides the fonts, nothing else.

Okay, so super cool that they created this and we're gonna add it to our website here.
