Joomla Content - YouTube (No Cookies) Extension

Bring the power of YouTube to your Joomla site without compromising user privacy! "Content - YouTube (No Cookies)" is a cutting-edge plugin that embeds YouTube videos using the {​ytnc} tag, ensuring a cookie-free experience that respects visitor data. Perfect for privacy-conscious websites, this tool lets you showcase videos seamlessly while adhering to strict data protection standards.

How It Works
Using simple {​ytnc} tags, you can embed YouTube videos anywhere in your Joomla content with ease. Optionally, configure the plugin to detect and auto-embed YouTube links, though for maximum control, use the tag with customizable display options—ideal when URLs alone don’t suffice. Whether you’re featuring tutorials, promotional clips, or live streams, this plugin ensures a smooth integration without third-party tracking.

Privacy-First Design
Unlike traditional embeds, this plugin operates without cookies, keeping your users’ data secure. It leverages YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, eliminating unnecessary tracking while maintaining full video functionality. Pair it with RicheyWeb’s "System - Google Analytics (No Cookies)" for a completely privacy-focused analytics solution.

Advanced YouTube Features for Flexibility
Lazy Loading: Reduce page load times by displaying video thumbnails and play buttons—users click to load the video, requiring two clicks for playback but boosting performance.
Comprehensive Customization: Access all 21 YouTube embed options, with global settings cascading to individual {​ytnc} tags. Override defaults for specific videos to tailor playback, size, or behavior.

Optional Enhancements: Retrieve and display video titles on LazyLoaded items (requires a Google API key) for added context, or let the plugin handle nearly any valid YouTube URL.
Effortless Integration: Seamlessly works with Joomla’s content system, offering both automatic link detection and manual tag control.

Why Choose Content - YouTube (No Cookies)?
This plugin isn’t just about embedding videos—it’s about doing so responsibly, efficiently, and with style. Whether you’re optimizing for speed with Lazy Loading, ensuring privacy with no-cookies embedding, or customizing playback with granular options, this plugin delivers a powerful, user-friendly solution for Joomla sites.
