    Not a lot of information to sell from a single GET request when an image is embedded on a third party website or app.

    Edit: come to think of it, maybe you’re right, and this is in response to 3rd party cookies being phased out pretty much everywhere.

      I think you probably nailed it. Firefox and Safari already block 3rd party cookies by default. I think chrome is supposed to sometime this year, and that will cover 95% of most internet users.

        To comply with GDPR, they’d need consent for that, and you can’t get consent through an <img /> tag, and I was never asked for consent before seeing a giphy in slack, for example.

          There are places where they don’t care about GDPR. It is probably relevant in the giphy case but other sites opreate outside the eu.
