Embed Consent

Description

This plugin replaces embed blocks with a confirmation that prevents loading any third party resources until the user has given their consent.

It enhances the built-in embed block and will automatically work with any current embeds. If the plugin is disabled/removed, all embeds will continue to work there will just be no consent confirmation.

• Amazon
• Animoto
