Disable Header video until user consent is given

    Hello,

    I have a somewhat tricky question. WP allows for Youtube header videos and my site uses this feature within a highly customized Twenty Seventeen theme. With respect to the GDPR, I want to enable the header video only, if the user accepted the cookie notice. If not – and also, before the consent is given – I want to show the still image for the header.

    I looked into the documentation, but I found no filter or something else to disable/enable the header video programmatically. In the end, a filter solution will not work anyway, since my site relies on static page caching. The solution must therefore use CSS/JS, not PHP.

    Anyone here with some voodo skills around header videos?

    Best regards

    Oliver

    I found a solution on my own:

    
function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
    var ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
    for(var i = 0; i <ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
            c = c.substring(1);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
            return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
        }
    }
    return "";
}

jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){
    var supportsVideo = wp.customHeader.supportsVideo;
  
    wp.customHeader.supportsVideo = function() {
        return supportsVideo() && (getCookie('cookie_notice_accepted') == 'false'); }
});

    Note: The cookie ‘cookie_notice_accepted’ will be set to ‘false’, if the user accepts…
