    Just reading the change log:

    Helps with GDPR compliance by allowing you to choose when YouTube.com’s API is loaded

    Is it discussed anywhere? I just want to understand the changes before I update.

    Sure, this is the description of the new option:

    YouTube API Loading: Choose when to load the YouTube API. The “Restricted” or “Never” options will help with GDPR compliance:
    * Restricted – (Recommended) Only load the API on pages that have a YouTube video.
    * Never – Do not load the YouTube API. Note: The “Never” choice may break features such as Volume Initialization and Gallery Continuous Play.
    * Always – Load the API on all pages. In most cases, the “Always” choice is not necessary.

    Thanks.

    Can I kindly propose that you provide a shortcode that we can use on our privacy page?

    The idea I hjave is that any plugin that is affected by privacy needs to be listed on my privacy page. By using a shortcode all your users will be providing consistent information to users.

    I have just updated the Pro version yet I’m unable to find these options. Where are they exactly?

    Hi AJ,

    Please elaborate on what kind of shortcode you’re looking for or better yet, give an example that that illustrates what you’re asking for?

    it Is nothing complicated. A website owner needs to have a privacy page. On this page he states what relates to GDPR.

    So on my page I would have:

    This website uses several external plugins to provide required functionality. Only a few of these plugins are affected by GDPR. Specifically:

    YouTube Video Tutorials
    [youtube gdpr]

    You would provide the wording that a user of my site could see when looking at the privacy policy.

    We’ll be updating the plugin and TOS further with GDPR related features in the coming days. You’ll be able to link to the latter then.

    That’s the plan.
