Lucide Icons

Unclassified

Lucide Icons is an open-source icon library, a community fork of Feather Icons, offering consistent SVG icons for websites and apps. Developers install it as a package for React, Vue, Svelte or plain JavaScript, or load it from a CDN. The icons are static vector graphics and do not set cookies, although loading them from a public CDN exposes visitors' IP addresses to that provider.

Overview

What does Lucide Icons do?

What is Lucide Icons

Lucide Icons is an open source SVG icon library, originally forked from Feather Icons and maintained by a community of contributors. The library ships several hundred crisp icons that designers and developers can embed in websites, web apps and design systems. Lucide is distributed under the ISC licence and can be installed as an npm package, copy pasted as raw SVG or referenced through a public CDN.

Data and cookies collected

By itself Lucide is a set of static SVG files. It does not set cookies, run analytics or contact a Lucide server at runtime. When the library is bundled with the application or self hosted, no personal data leaves the operator infrastructure. When it is loaded from a public CDN such as unpkg or jsDelivr, only the standard request metadata of the visitor (IP, user agent, referrer) reaches the CDN.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Because no information is stored or read from the visitor terminal, article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive does not apply to Lucide Icons. The library is not a tracking technology. The only GDPR concern is the IP address shared with the CDN if Lucide is not self hosted, which is the typical situation of any third party static asset and should still be addressed in the privacy notice.

Consent and legal basis

No consent is required to display Lucide Icons. The legal basis for delivering the icons is article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing the website visual assets) when bundled, and either legitimate interest or consent depending on the CDN configuration when loaded from a third party endpoint. The safest path is to bundle the library and avoid the question entirely.

Data transfers

Self hosted Lucide does not generate any transfer. CDN delivery exposes the visitor IP address to the chosen CDN. unpkg is run by a US company, while jsDelivr operates a global edge network with EU points of presence. Operators sensitive to the Schrems II case law should self host the icons or pick an EU based CDN.

Practical compliance steps

Install Lucide through the npm package and bundle it with the build to keep all requests first party. If a CDN is necessary, mention it in the privacy notice, monitor for vulnerabilities through Subresource Integrity hashes and review the choice of CDN periodically. There is nothing to add to the CMP because no cookies are involved.

Impact assessment (DPIA)

No DPIA is required for a Lucide Icons integration. The library is a static asset that does not process personal data, set cookies or call third party tracking servers when self hosted.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Lucide Icons

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

Does Lucide Icons set cookies?

No. Lucide Icons is a library of static SVG files. It does not set cookies, does not run analytics code and does not contact a Lucide server when displayed. The visitor browser only loads the SVG bytes, exactly like any other image asset on the page.

Is consent required for Lucide Icons?

No. Because Lucide does not store or read information on the visitor terminal and does not process personal data, article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive does not apply. No consent banner entry is required for Lucide Icons themselves, whether they are bundled or fetched from the build pipeline.

What is the legal basis for using Lucide Icons?

The legal basis is article 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest in providing the visual elements of the website. When the icons are bundled, this is the same basis used for any other static asset. CDN delivery still relies on legitimate interest but adds a third party recipient that should be disclosed in the privacy notice.

Does Lucide Icons transfer data outside the EEA?

Self hosted Lucide does not generate any cross border transfer. If the icons are loaded from unpkg, jsDelivr or another global CDN, the visitor IP address may transit through a non EEA edge node. Operators sensitive to Schrems II should self host or pick a CDN with EU only edges.

Do I need a DPIA before using Lucide Icons?

No. A DPIA under article 35 GDPR is triggered by high risk processing, which a static icon library cannot meet. Lucide Icons do not process special categories of data, do not perform automated decision making and do not monitor user behaviour.

How do I implement Lucide Icons in a GDPR compliant way?

Install the npm package, import only the icons you need and bundle them with your build. Avoid loading them at runtime from a public CDN unless the build process specifically requires it. If a CDN is used, add a Subresource Integrity hash and mention the CDN in the privacy notice.

Are there alternatives to Lucide Icons?

Yes, comparable icon libraries with similar low privacy footprints include Heroicons, Phosphor Icons, Tabler Icons, Remix Icon, Feather Icons (the original parent project) and Iconoir. They can all be self hosted and bundled with the application to avoid any third party loading.

How should I document Lucide Icons in the cookie policy?

No specific cookie entry is needed. In the section dedicated to static third party assets, mention which CDN delivers the icons, the type of metadata involved (IP, user agent, referrer) and the recipient. If the icons are bundled and served from the same domain, no specific entry is necessary.
