From e9a6ab4015ff0dbc6f617a5f643428c62421dde0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2021 13:09:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [fix] youtube - send CONSENT Cookie to not be redirected In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW: very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking. To get the consent from the user, youtube requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT Cookie from https://consent.youtube.com This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the youtube request to avoid redirection.
