Dear Fabian

@fabiandraxl

Does embedding non-cookied youtube videos help you?

Hej @Richard,

As I said, don't use Youtube videos on my site at all. So it must be somehow the integration of the videos via Laytheme or is there a feature where you could deactivate that?

Thank you! ☺️

hei @fabiandraxl
hei @Richard

i dont know, how to finally fix this. but i am experiencing the same issue. but while i deactivated the carousel addon, there are no cookies set. so i assume, the third party integration of youtube is happening right there.

kind,
sebastian

Hej @neunzehnachtneun,

Thanks for reaching and pointing that out. :) Unfortunately it would not be a good solution to have a laysite without the carousel feature haha

Fingers Crossed 😬

Hej @Richard,

As @neunzehnachtneun and I have already mentioned, it's not the embedding of the videos. It's the Carousel plugin that uses or integrates these cookies somehow in the background.

But it would not be a solution to deactivate the entire plugin, because I need it several times on the page ... I have not integrated Youtube videos in any of my slideshows ... I exclusively use HTML5 Videos ...

It would be great if these cookies or functions were only activated once Youtube videos are also used. Maybe a simple Opt-out in the preferences of the Carousel Addon would be the solution?

Thanks,
Fabian

Same for me.... activated carousel plugin = 2 youtube cookies set,
If disabled - no youtube cookies!

When enabled, two scripts are added for youtube
<script type="text/javascript" id="www-widgetapi-script" src="https://www.youtube.com/s/player/0abde7de/www-widgetapi.vflset/www-widgetapi.js" async=""></script>
<script src="https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>

Disabled, they have gone.

@arminunruh hello armin, please can you help us?

Is it possible to use the carousel plugin without 2 youtube cookies set,

I have seen, that when corousel is enabled, two scripts are added for youtube
<script type="text/javascript" id="www-widgetapi-script" src="https://www.youtube.com/s/player/0abde7de/www-widgetapi.vflset/www-widgetapi.js" async=""></script>
<script src="https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>

When disabled, they are gone.

Dear @wua-frank

Hello Richard. Do you hear something from Armin? 6 Days is a long time ;-)

sorry
if you update the carousel addon you can now disable the youtube script at the bottom of the options in "lay options" -> "carousel addon"

Thanks @arminunruh

@arminunruh

Yeaaaah! Thank you very much. Works wonderfully, my page now meets all data protection criteria. 🥳

Would it be possible to integrate this function directly into the slideshow in the gridder instead of in the general settings? I am currently working on a page where I would like to sporadically use Youtube videos in the carousels ...

Thaaanks,
Fabi
