Description

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.

Usage

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

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/gdpr-helper-for-youtube-videos directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Use the shortcode [gdpr_youtube id="VIDEO_ID" title="Your Video Title"] to embed YouTube videos in your posts or pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the YouTube Video ID?

The Video ID is the part after “v=” in YouTube URLs. For example, in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTqNVQys5go, the ID is TTqNVQys5go.

Is this plugin fully GDPR compliant?

While this plugin helps with GDPR compliance by not loading YouTube content until user consent is given, it does not guarantee full legal compliance. You should still include appropriate privacy policies on your website.
