Was youtube-nocookie.com always serving cookies or did it start recently? Is it a scam?
I remember checking via DevTools (Application/Storage tab) that no cookie was actually set.
A customer just notified me that they did find cookies set by the domain .youtube-nocookie.com — weirdly, something about "consent pending", which does not change when I click play, as other sources state.
They have also alerted me to some shenanigans in Local Storage, namely an item with the key yt-remote-device-id , which has a UUID and an expiration date 10 years in the future.
I have always suspected that Enhanced Privacy Mode is somewhat of a exaggeration, but this seems to defeat the purpose almost entirely. And it makes youtube-nocookie practically useless w.r.t. a less painful GDPR-compliant user experience.
Is this a recent change? Is there any documentation or changelog on that?

Youtube без cookies и рекламы — youtube-nocookie
Цитирую отсюда. Там же подробнее.
„в обычный код вставки добавляется -NOCOOKIE и тогда не происходит загрузки данных с вашей страницы пока пользователь не нажмет кнопку проигрывания ролика Play“
Пример кода ниже.
NB! Вместо угловых скобок < > для тегов, я там поставил одиночные угловые кавычки ‹ ›
При использовании нужно не забыть поставить угловые скобки!

🙂 Честно говоря, именно эту тему и я пока толком не понял. Хочу обсудить с народом на соответствующем форуме. Это так, заметка для себя, чтобы потом разобраться. Я подобные заметки чаще всего вообще закрываю от чтения.
Но вообще, тем не менее, польза от этих сведений (если их нормально подать 🙂 ) может быть и для обычного пользователя ЖЖ. Спасибо, что напомнили.
Речь идёт о новинке от Youtube.
Европейцы потребовали от Youtube, чтобы их сайт поменьше использовал данные с компьютера пользователя.
Есть так называемые куки (cookie) файлы, которые Интернет-сайт записывает на компьютер пользователя при просмотре сайта. Там, например, информация о конкретных настройках и предпочтениях данного пользователя для данного сайта и т.д. К слову, это можно отключить самому пользователю в настройках своего браузера.
Так вот, по Ютубу.
Замечали иногда, если на Интернет-странице много (несколько) ссылок на Ютуб, то страница может грузиться медленно, а то и зависнуть?
Потому что каждая вставка с видео с Ютуба, тянет информацию через Интернет.
🙂 А если вставить в адрес видео «заклинание» -nocookie, то теоретически страница станет полегче! На практике эту новинку я ещё не проверял.
How to Add YouTube Videos Without Cookies
Businesses, media outlets, and bloggers commonly embed YouTube videos into their websites. It’s the simplest way to incorporate video without drastically impacting site speed. While this simple strategy makes using video infinitely easier, it also comes with a downside when it comes to privacy regulations.
YouTube by default sets a tracking cookie for marketing purposes. In other words, when you embed a video, you are inviting third-party cookies onto your site.
This can cause some complications when it comes to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. Generally, website users who click on the video from your website have not consented to this tracker like they would if they directly visited YouTube.
As of recently, YouTube launched a GDPR-compliant solution to this issue, however, that allows users to imbed videos without the attached cookie.
How Embedded YouTube Videos Work
As mentioned above, embedded YouTube videos allow websites to incorporate video into their site without slowing down site speed. Essentially, you are using a small snippet of code on your website that displays the video to users.
It pulls the video from its source, allowing users to see the video without needing to host it on your site.
What are the Requirements?
Historically, YouTube has used a tracking cookie in this process to personalize the viewing experience for users. This cookie is what allows them to tailor the next videos that you might see to previous related searches, or videos watched.
But this practice violates the European Union’s GDPR, which requires the user to provide consent for any tracking cookie that is used. This shift in policy brings hosting YouTube videos on your site using this option, a GDPR compliant practice.
According to the GDPR, if cookies can be used to identify a person, they are considered personal data. The GDPR regulates how that personal data can be collected or used by private organizations. Your company may be collecting and storing personal data through third-party cookies without even knowing it.
What is the Solution?
The way for users to maintain compliance with this issue is straightforward. When you go to imbed the video from YouTube, you can click on “Enable privacy-enhanced mode” toward the bottom of the screen.
When you check the box, the code automatically adds the “no cookie” code to the domain, removing the tracker and making the embed GDPR compliant. Below is an example of what the code might look like before and after.
Before privacy mode is enabled:
After privacy mode is enabled:
Note that the “www.youtube-nocookie.com” section has been added to the privacy mode version. This addition is what is supposed to prevent the videos watched from your website from influencing users’ browsing experience on YouTube.
You don’t have to re-do all the code on the videos currently embedded into your site. Instead, you can go to the database, run a query, and replace the code with all the “no cookie” embed code.
Large websites such as Kahn Academy are using this technique to remove the tracker. If you embed video to your website and have European visitors, it’s a shift necessary to maintain GDPR compliance.
How CookieScript Can Help
Websites typically run about 20 cookies. You may or may not be aware of all the cookies running on your site, as many could come from a third party. It becomes exceedingly difficult to follow privacy regulations or any cookie laws when you are unaware of what is there.
CookieScript’s cookie scanner tool will scan your website, and alert you to all cookies that are running. This includes any lingering YouTube cookies from previously embedded videos. As mentioned above, those cookies can be removed by running a database inquiry to make large-scale changes. Try it here:
The tool is even capable of detecting the often-missed Javascript cookies. The tool also works as a modifier so that you can remove or modify these cookies to maintain necessary compliance.
Frequently asked questions
How do I embed a YouTube video without cookies?
When you embed a YouTube video, you can simply click on “Enable privacy-enhanced mode” which automatically adds the “no cookie” code to the domain, making it GDPR compliant.
What is YouTube no cookie?
Because YouTube sets a tracking cookie into all embedded videos by default, you are enabling Third-Party Cookies to track user data on your site and potentially violate GDPR standards.
How do I block YouTube cookies?
Once privacy mode is enabled, the code for the embedded video will change from “www.youtube.com” to “www.youtube-nocookie.com”. This prevents videos watched on your website from impacting users’ experiences on YouTube.
How do I enable embedding on YouTube?
YouTube videos can be embedded into websites without slowing down site speed by using a small amount of code to display the video to users.
What are cookies on YouTube?
YouTube places a tracking cookie into their videos to monitor viewer habits and personalize future viewing experiences for users. These may violate GDPR regulations.
