Embed Privacy
The Embed Privacy plugin for WordPress is designed to address the issue of external content being loaded immediately when visitors access a website.
This plugin prevents the loading of such content until the visitor decides to allow it, thereby protecting their privacy.
The plugin replaces all embeds with placeholders, which can be styled as desired using only a few lines of CSS. When a visitor clicks on a placeholder, the respective content is reloaded.
The plugin supports various embeds, including those from YouTube and Twitter. It also allows users to customize overlays for each service individually.
