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.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>After activation, navigate to the “YouTube GDPR” menu in the WordPress admin dashboard.</li>
<li>Configure the settings such as consent text, button text, and button color.</li>
<li>Use the shortcode <code>[gdpr_youtube id="VIDEO_ID" title="Your Video Title"]</code> in your posts or pages to embed YouTube videos.</li>
</ol>
