What's the easiest way to do this? I have YouTube videos embedded, and they link to Google fonts (Roboto) - adding a cookie banner does not stop this, as far as I know. So what's the easiest way to block those YT videos until the "Confirm" button is clicked?

Hi Friedrich,

Unfortunately, Nicepage does not provide such functionality. But you can use any existing ready-made solutions depending on the used platform (CMS or HTML websites).
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for the answer. It would help if you could recommend ready-made solutions.

I'm afraid you technically have to implement this or you may as well remove the cookie blocking option entirely, it's a requirement under the EU GDPR to block such non-essential cookies. This falls under "Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies." as specified by the GDPR. Youtube cookies are NOT strictly necessary.

ALL cookies (even session cookies) need to be blocked until consent has been given.

I second what Ch3vr0n wrote. It would be a good idea to add some resources to how to achieve better blocking.
