| 173 | +**YouTube and Vimeo** - The Video Carousel block embeds videos from YouTube (`https://www.youtube.com`, `https://www.youtube-nocookie.com`) and Vimeo (`https://player.vimeo.com`) on the pages where it is used, and loads their thumbnails from `https://i.ytimg.com` and `https://i.vimeocdn.com`. In the editor, the "Get title and thumbnail" option asks your own site's oEmbed proxy, which contacts YouTube or Vimeo. Visitors' IP address and browser user agent are sent to these services when a video or thumbnail loads. The GutSlider dashboard also shows a GutSlider video from `https://www.youtube-nocookie.com`; nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. | |
