But I also describe disadvantages and circumstances in which it might not work and also show a PHP code with which you can prevent cookies from YouTube. Contents Embedding YouTube videos in a privacy-friendly manner In WordPress, it is very easy to embed a YouTube video in an article or page. You just have to paste the URL of the video into the text and it will be displayed. (Alternatively, you can also copy and paste an embed code from YouTube, but this is not necessary.) Depending on the theme and CSS settings, it will be displayed in a suitable size and often it even looks good on mobile. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, but that is not the main problem.


WordPress embeds the YouTube video via the normal YouTube.com domain uk phone number list and this ensures that data is transmitted to YouTube or cookies are set as soon as you enter a page/article with such an embedded video. However, this is done at the latest after clicking on the play button of the video and this is a problem from a data protection perspective because as website operators we are jointly responsible for it. And so you have to at least minimize the data collection (for example by ensuring that data is not collected when you enter the site and that no cookies are set in general) or inform the user that data is collected by YouTube when watching the video.

I do not guarantee that you can use it to embed videos in a 100% legal manner. As always, you use it at your own risk. However, anything you do to prevent or minimize data transfers, cookie settings, etc. is positive and better than simply embedding YouTube videos that already collect data and set cookies when a user visits a page with a video. Your own privacy policy must also provide information about YouTube usage/integration.
