Comment:

 Don't think using a CDN has anything to do with GDPR.

 > The current user IP address and browser information is sent to a third

 Right, that is how Internet works? How is that any different than visiting
 the front-end of the site? :)

 Visiting any page on any site on the Internet sends your IP address and
 browser UA to all the routers on the way to the site's server(s). This may
 be to another country or even to another continent. In addition your
 internet provider or other network providers on the way to the site's
 server(s) may redirect your request to a caching service of their choice.
 You as a user have no control over this.
