are you liable for third party's using your site for tracking? If you're not using cookies yourself, but you accidentally or otherwise include resources from third parties that are used for tracking, do you still have to display the cookie notice?


I think so, yes. For example, if you're including a Facebook button, that counts. So including JS from a CDN would also have to count. And when you're using a reverse proxy, I think it's not distinguishable anymore whether it's you personally collecting user behavior of whether it's Cloudflare doing it on your "behalf".
