Fantastic
Just what the doctor ordered! Absolute must-have plugin for GDPR-compliant embedding of external media (in my case YT Videos)

simple and easy BUT with bugs
cool plugin, apreciate it!unfortunately on a page where I embed several videos from different video pattforms (eg. YouTube & Vimeo) once I click to accept one, it always load all the videos from all the plattforms. Even if I dont choose to accept all the YouTube ones it loads them anyway once I click on any video to be loaded.

Just what I was looking for!
It's annoying that this plugin even has to exist (to prevent, for example, Google from tracking people before they've even viewed a YouTube video), but, in the world of GDPR, it's necessary. And I'm thankful for it. There are just a couple of things I think could be improved: The default text "Click here to display content from X" isn't as clear as it could be for an opt in. I think it should be something like, "Click here to accept X tracking and view content". That's what I've customised it to be. The "Disable X" checkbox that can be inserted into a privacy policy via a shortcode is pre-selected. To me, this is confusing. I wonder whether it would be better as a toggle--or, when you click it, to briefly show the checkbox selected and then change to "Enable X". I also think the language could be clearer: "Opt out of X tracking on this site", or something like that. Other than that, great, simple plugin. Thanks for making it!

Amazing, super easy to use and effective!
As far as I know it is not possible to use the nocookie adress for youtube videos with the default wordpress youtube embeds. This plugin solves this in the most perfect way. Thank you very much for this!
