- jen729w 5y agoJust use a blocker everywhere if you prefer not to accept cookies? 1Blocker on Safari did the job for me here.
- cgriswald 5y agoYour post is being downvoted because blocking cookies does not solve the problem. It is blocking cookies that causes the issue. When cookies are blocked (in my case, third-party cookies are blocked), an overlay appears over the video explaining the website that hosts the video will not allow the video to be played without a targeting cookie. FWIW, removing the overlay was not enough to get the video to play on the website; but I haven't looked any further into it—easier to just go to YouTube to play the video.
- isodev 5y agoThanks! It's absurd how they make us pay in cookies to view their marketing PR posts.
- tinus_hn 5y agoHow are you going to watch a YouTube video without accepting cookies?
- jazzyjackson 5y agoSimple, YouTube sets the cookie without asking, no need to accept them ;)
- tinus_hn 5y agoPerhaps it’s a EU thing but if I open the YouTube site I can’t proceed without accepting at least some cookies from the GDPR pop-up.
- detritus 5y agoYou can also just drag and drop those stupid cookie demands onto the address bar and it'll load the Youtube link direct. An effing stupid move to force cookies on a promotional site like this. Foot, shot.
