Description

  • Amazon
  • Animoto
  • Cloudup
  • Crowdsignal
  • DailyMotion
  • Flickr
  • Imgur

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

This plugin filters the output of core/embed blocks to add a consent message and prevent loading any third-part resources until consent is given.

What happens to embeds if I disable/remove this plugin?

They will continue to work as normal there will just be no consent message shown.

Can users opt-in to always loading a provider?

Yes, there is a setting to allow users to opt-in to always loading a provider by showing a checkbox below the consent button.

Can users opt-out again from always loading a provider?

Yes, add the shortcode [embed_consent_opt_out] to your privacy policy which will allow opting out.
