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!
