oEmbed and third party analytics cookies

@bernardzijlstra you are right. Youtube videos (and any other cookie-setting videos) should be withheld from loading before the user has given consent to marketing cookies.

See our guide on how to mark up youtube videos with the iframe approach:

https://support.cookiebot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003790854-Iframe-cookie-consent-with-YouTube-example

If you paste a youtube URL directly into WordPress, then WordPress will render it as an iframe, however you wont be able to see that in the editor.

We are working on an Addon for the Cookiebot plugin (https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons), which is able to re-render the oEmedded URLs so that they place play nicely along with Cookiebot. I’ll let you know in here when it is ready.

@bernardzijlstra I’ll go ahead and mark this question as resolved for now.

Hi,

I’ve managed to make this work by adding this code into the functions.php file. I’ve got the CookieBotAddons cloned on github to try and update it on there too.

function my_embed_oembed_html($html, $url, $attr, $post_id) {
return ‘<div class=”cookieconsent-optin-preferences”>’ . $html . ‘</div>
</br>
<div class=”cookieconsent-optout-marketing”>Please accept marketing-cookies to view this content.</div>’;
}

add_filter(’embed_oembed_html’, ‘my_embed_oembed_html’, 99, 4);

Hi @rinch and @bernardzijlstra,

Our “Cookiebot Addons” project now has an auto-correct feature for Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter.

We hope that the project will be released as a plugin in WP.
