Youtube and Vimeo will place cookies if embedded, so it is not possible being GDPR compliant when using webflow's embedded video element or videos in rich texts & CMS rich texts. The same applies to maps and other embed elements.
Add functionality to only insert cookie placing elements into the DOM if cookies were accepted.

Webflow devs, please implement this so we can properly make GDPR compliant websites. Many other platforms have resolved this long ago.
Come on Webflow!! Allowing cookies through a webflow website before consent is given, is not acceptable. And having to add custom scripts to every iframe we add with a video or map, is not a great solution for our content creators that don't do code. We were sold a 'no code' solution! Also, adding script tags into Webflow's dashboard isn't a good move either – GA4 or Pixels. They get fired before any cookie consent is provided so we're now doing all that via GTM. This all needs fixing. Until there's a solution we won't be recommending Webflow to our clients and we're wondering whether we'd be better on Wordpress, or Umbraco.
is there any update on this?
Support.
We run a weblog and embed videos via the richtext element Now there is no possibility to select the privacy mode here, so that we can get a clean solution with our cookie tool (www.cookiehub.com).
After the latest ruling of the EUGH (Fashion ID ruling) this feature is really important. Please Webflow team, this can't be that hard to change!
thank you, I edited the idea.
It's not just video elements, there are problems with embedding Google Maps and other third party services too...
