Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 johnbillion]:
 > This makes no mention of collecting view statistics which can be
 gathered independently of tracking a user for personalisation purposes. It
 seems to me that Vimeo is being overly cautious with respect to the `dnt`
 parameter.

 Yes, that's my understanding here as well. They seem to be using it to
 block all kinds of statistics, rather than just user tracking.

 > Vimeo embeds _could_ be excluded from using the `dnt` parameter, which
 isn't ideal, but realistically it might be about the only option.

 Since this is causing accessibility issues as is, per comment:4, let's go
 with that for now.
