From the developer
Michael Zangl's own description of Embed videos and respect privacy, lightly tidied.
This is meant to be used in Germany, but can be used in any other country where you want some more privacy for your users.
- Texts are only in German!
German Background
Das deutsche Datenschutzrecht ist relativ streng. Der normale Youtube Einbindenlink entspricht nicht (unbedingt) den Datenschutzbestimmungen.
Dieses Plugin baut erst eine Verbindung zu Youtube auf, wenn der Nutzer aktiv auf den Abspielen-Knopf klickt.
Es ist kein Setup erforderlich und es gibt dementsprechend auch keine Einstellungen.
