Just a small note: the 'youtube-nocookie' site doesn't place cookies, but does place an unique yt-remote-device-id in the local storage. So it is not free of trackers.

Hmmm so when a visitor would deny all other cookies than the functional ones, youtube should still be hidden @mworrell

What we (in LearningStone) now do is to show the static preview and replace it with the embed after it is clicked.

In this way the page loads faster and we don't have cookies on loading our own page.

Yep, this is a good and common solution to the cookie/localstorage problem.
