Well, you still need some kind of backend to store the data. You can send it to a 3rd party, but then you'll run into all the same GDPR issues.

Not necessarily. If I read the article correctly, it is about sending data to the US:

> The complaints allege that the companies, in violation of the law, transfer personal data to the United States.

So if the 3rd party is inside the EU, you might be fine. Or at least you may run into different GDPR issues.

If the website is not just a static html page, there is likely a web-server with a database that can store information.

Oh, sure, but a LOT of websites are static html pages — or, at least, should be.
