There is a PAQ which is very long (and detail). Please take a time and see if it fits.

Axel,
Another PAQ - this one is proposed by me.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20255627/Prevent-other-sites-from-displaying-my-images.html
So pick the best approach that you're most comfortable.
However please be advised that any http header cound be faked, the the approach might fail. Anyhow, for most scenario, it should work.
cheers.
