This is an activity plugin that allows to embed content from external sites, such as YouTube, Twitter, Google Maps and such, in a GDPR-compliant way, which means that it won't be inserted into the page until users have activated it by clicking on the slider-button.

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.


Potential privacy issues

External websites might receive the user's IP adress and/or set cookies after (and only if) users have explicitly agreed to view external content. A short description text informs the user about this privacy issue beforehand.
