Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Privacy Lite Video Embeds for YouTube

Yes, because the plugin works with YouTube embeds. The plugin may contact img.youtube.com server-side to download and cache video thumbnails locally in the WordPress uploads directory. This happens from the website server, not from the visitor browser. The visitor browser loads the YouTube player only after the visitor clicks the local placeholder. After click, the iframe is created using the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed domain. No account or API key is required.
