So I finally registered here … 🙂

By default, YouTube’s privacy is not really good. It is commonly recommended to use [the “nocookie” mode](https://www.ghacks.net/2018/05/23/why-you-should-always-use-youtubes-privacy-enhanced-mode/). At least the patch is easy:

[https://github.com/getzola/zola/compare/master...dertuxmalwieder:patch-1](https://github.com/getzola/zola/compare/master...dertuxmalwieder:patch-1)

Acceptable? 😉

I’m actually tempted to remove the default shortcodes, I didn’t think anyone was actually using them 😮

Please don’t! Most blogs I know embed YouTube videos every now and then. 🙂
