data privacy in embeded links

Hi everyone,

I have a privacy related question. In Germany, websites have to get users conset to set cookies etc. when they visit a site.

On out LMS we often use embeded YouTube videos. Problem is: YouTube already processes some personal data (like IP-address) when the script for the LMS site is loading - users don´t have to click on the YouTube play button for that to happen. We solved this problem within our LMS with a two-click-solution: User first see a picture of the YouTube video and an information that their data will be processed with YouTube when they click the video. Only when they now click a second time on the video will their data be send to YouTube - but thats ok because now they know :)

Now my question: How does it work, when I insert a YouTube (or other) link in a Rise module? Will the user data be processed by the website in the link before the user clicks the link - just by loading the Rise script?

I hope someone maybe had a similar question before and can give some advice.

Thanks,

Marlene
