Descripcion
The GDPR Helper for YouTube Videos plugin helps you embed YouTube videos in a GDPR-compliant manner. It displays a thumbnail of the video initially and loads the actual video only after the user gives consent by clicking a button. This approach helps minimize data sharing with YouTube until the user actively chooses to watch the video.
Key features:
– Easy-to-use shortcode for embedding videos.
– Customizable consent text, button text, and button color.
– Privacy-enhanced mode using youtube-nocookie.com.
– Clear information for users about data sharing.
Usage
- After activation, navigate to the « YouTube GDPR » menu in the WordPress admin dashboard.

[gdpr_youtube id="VIDEO_ID" title="Your Video Title"]in your posts or pages to embed YouTube videos.
Installacion
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/gdpr-helper-for-youtube-videosdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
