Made by@slashcloneEmbed YouTube videos without tracking cookies
@slashclone/privacy-friendly-youtube-embed
Embed YouTube videos on your site without loading anything from Google until the visitor presses Play or allows videos. A click-to-play placeholder with a local poster swaps in the youtube-nocookie.com player, with a keyboard-friendly button, no layout shift, CSP entries, and a Playwright test that proves no YouTube request happens first. React and HTML templates. Not legal advice.
