exovia YouTube DSGVO

You want to embed YouTube videos on your website and ensure that the data protection regulations according to GDPR are complied with? Our new plugin offers you a solution for exactly this! With our YouTube DSGVO plugin, you can display YouTube videos on your website for free and in compliance with data protection laws. Instead of loading the videos directly, a colored placeholder of your choice is displayed first. By adding your own words, this becomes an attractive interaction area for your visitors. Only when your visitors click on one of the consent buttons, a connection to the YouTube server is established and data is transferred to YouTube. Then the desired video is loaded and can be played. Both the placeholder and the YouTube video are mobile-optimized and automatically adapt to the display size. You can also assign a maximum width to both elements to achieve the best possible visual result. With our plugin, you protect the privacy of your visitors while taking advantage of videos for your website success. Want a live demo? Then feel free to visit the following article. There we have integrated a YouTube video of ours with our DSGVO plugin in a data protection compliant manner and go into more detail on the topic of data protection and YouTube: YouTube DSGVO konform einbinden.

• Until the user's consent has been explicitly given, it prevents the connection to YouTube's servers (GDPR) and thus protects the privacy of your visitors.
• Thanks to an adjustable level, it reserves space for the video until it is loaded, thus stabilizing the design and impact of your website.
• Based on your color and size wishes, it ensures that your placeholder automatically adapts to your layout.
• The extended shortcode makes it possible to embed different videos in a privacy-compliant way and to style them differently or add different text if you wish.
• Whether Classic Editor or Block Editor (Gutenberg): the plugin is compatible with both and makes sure that your settings are accepted and realized.
• It works well with ACF and Carbon Fields
• You have a multilingual site? The plugin works in all languages and can be designed and re-written for specific pages. We will start working on the German translation after approval, and other languages will follow.
• It provides a required link to the YouTube / Google terms of use and
• offers a simple and advanced short code that allows you to use the secure videos anywhere.

WHAT THE PLUGIN IS NOT FOR

• Handling Videos form different platforms (Sorry. But feel free to let us know if there is interest. If enough people get together we will adapt or write a new plugin).
• Saving users content settings in web databases. Last but not least, this is why the plugin is simple and secure.
