    Description

      Youtube loads  a lot of cookies if videos are embedded. Youtube allows a reduction of cookie loading with a different embed code that is privacy compliant by using the youtube-nocookie.com domain

      Example:

      <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/glwSTFuqmWo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

      Normally this is a feature you can select when fetching embed code from youtube page manually.

      This issue adds a configuration option to the YouTube media player that when set the Moodle LMS generated embed code uses the youtube-nocookie.com domain.  This means that when this admin option is enabled:

      • NO .youtube.com cookies are added to the users browser
      • No calls to *.doubleclick.net and googleads. are made
      • Calls ARE made to www.youtube-nocookie.com

      It will work for both single embedded videos and embedded playlists.

      NOTE: Cookies from www.youtube-nocookie.com are still added once a user has clicked play button. No calls to *.doubleclick.net and googleads. are made even when the play button is clicked.
