Is Zebrafish Labs GDPR compliant?
ConsentStack classifies Zebrafish Labs's trackers as essential (strictly necessary), so its banner does not block them. That is our classification, not a legal ruling. The exemption from prior consent comes from the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) and covers only what is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for, and the GDPR still governs any personal data, such as an IP address, sent to Zebrafish Labs.

Overview
Zebrafish Labs operates the imgix image optimization and transformation CDN. It serves responsive, optimized images at scale through URL-based image transforms. Client-side scripts are rare as most functionality is handled server-side via URL parameters.
What This Script Does
- Serves optimized and transformed images through a CDN using URL-based parameters
- Handles image resizing, cropping, format conversion, and quality optimization server-side
- Client-side scripts, when present, typically handle responsive image source selection
- Does not perform behavioral tracking or set cookies for user identification
- Functions as content delivery infrastructure rather than a tracking or analytics tool
Consent & Compliance
- Category: Essential
- GDPR: Does not require consent as it serves as content delivery infrastructure without user tracking
- CCPA: No personal data collection; operates as a technical image delivery service
- ePrivacy: No consent required as it does not set tracking cookies or collect user data
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. Zebrafish Labs / imgix is content delivery infrastructure for image optimization. It does not track users or collect personal data, and blocking it would degrade the visual experience of the site.
