Comment (by utrenkner):

 @paapst and @RogierLankhorst Even though it is not GDPR compliant, it is a
 much better solution in terms of privacy. When users just open the webpage
 with the embedded video, no YouTube cookies are set. Only when click to
 play, are YouTube-cookies set.

 I would love to see this in WordPress. I recommended the nocookie-URL to a
 client of mine, but was surprised that WordPress did not yet support the
 embedding of the nocookie-URL. I tried fixing this, myself, before I found
 out how many files need changes. And before I found this ticket...

 Would be happy to test a patch!
