" src set to www.youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com. Both are official Google urls, but the former doesn't do tracking via cookies, and disables API and interaction and interaction logging. Amusingly, it's the player used on whitehouse.gov. "
Is (was) actually UNTRUE. The no-cookies URL last time I checked it should be doing it now, but I am too lazy right now. This STILL set cookies when people engaged with the embed, it just prevented automatically setting cookies and tracking with that just by loading the iframe.
Also, what about local-storage why in 2024 the talk is still about cookies? Local storage is the more modern API, and it seems many people fail to realize the all the stuff cookies do can be done with local storage and more.
