Extra Privacy for Elementor

Description

If you embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo, some data may be transferred to the video provider prior to clicking on the video.

This is problematic according to the data protection regulation, because a user should know, where their personal data is transferred to and stored.

If you want to implement a 2-click solution for your embedded videos, just install this plugin. It hooks into the Elementor Video Widget and shows an explanation text about privacy.

The user can then decide to allow showing the embedded videos. An informational session cookie will be set, so that the user does not have to allow the embedded videos again until the browser is closed.

Alternatively, the user can use a direct link to the youtube video.

Works flawlessly, we just had to modify the CSS manually to fit into our page (z-index had to be modified too for our setup) But the ‘js-loading prevention’ worked without any problem. I would have given the fivth star for the possibility to modify the CSS within the plugin, but that would really have been the cream on top of everything 🙂

Macht genau das, was es soll. Eine kompakte Lösung die ohne großen Aufwand zu implementieren ist. Ausserdem ist der Support wirklich spitze, glaube so schnell hatte ich noch nie eine Lösung für ein Problem erhalten 🙂 Top!
