Images
When you're embedding an image from a third-party website, you're essentially pulling that image into your website. The process of embedding an image doesn't usually involve downloading the image to your own website's server. Instead, the image is just displayed on your website page. This means that if the original image ever changes on the third-party website, your website will display the updated image automatically.
Relation to GDPR
However, because you're displaying an image that's hosted on another website, there's always the potential for data to be shared between the two websites. For example, if the third-party website has embedded a Facebook pixel on their site, then Facebook could potentially track the people who visit your website if you've also embedded that same image.
This is why it's important to be aware of the implications of embedding third-party images on your website, especially when it comes to GDPR. If you're embedding images from a website that's based in the European Union, then you need to be sure that you're compliant with GDPR. Otherwise, you could be risking some hefty fines.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to make sure you're compliant with GDPR when embedding third-party images
