This plugin is for when you want to include GDPR-compliant embeddings of content from external platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Maps.
The issue with simply embedding the iframe code that social media platforms generate for you with their share-feature, is that those platforms might instantly set a cookie or receive the viewer's ip address upon opening your page.
The solution is to not include the iframe until the viewer has activated the content by pressing a button and thereby given their consent.
