This plugin replaces embed blocks with a confirmation that prevents loading any third party resources until the user has given their consent.
It enhances the built-in embed block and will automatically work with any current embeds. If the plugin is disabled/removed, all embeds will continue to work there will just be no consent confirmation.
Currently, the plugin only works with the Gutenberg core/embed block.
The currently supported embed providers are:
- Amazon
- Animoto
- Cloudup
- Crowdsignal
- DailyMotion
- Flickr
- Imgur
- Issuu
- Kickstarter
- Mixcloud
- Pinterest
- Pocket Casts
- Reddit
- ReverbNation
- Screencast
- Scribd
- Slideshare
- SmugMug
- SoundCloud
- Speaker Deck
- Spotify
- TED
- TikTok

How does it work?
This plugin filters the output of core/embed blocks to add a consent message and prevent loading any third-part resources until consent is given.
What happens to embeds if I disable/remove this plugin?
They will continue to work as normal there will just be no consent message shown.
Can users opt-in to always loading a provider?
Yes, there is a setting to allow users to opt-in to always loading a provider by showing a checkbox below the consent button.
Can users opt-out again from always loading a provider?
Yes, add the shortcode [embed_consent_opt_out] to your privacy policy which will allow opting out.
Alternatively, disabling the setting which allows users to opt-in to always loading will disable always loading.
Does it work with caching?
Yes, it has been tested with WP Super Cache and there should be no issues with other caching plugins.
When changing settings in the admin area, you may need to clear the cache for the changes to take effect.
