Privacy and cookies

Don't forget that with this, you embed external content via iframe. That means it will load Telegram's 3rd party cookies for the visitors. In certain countries (for example in Europe) by law you cannot load non-essential cookies to the browser until the visitor has given consent to it. So you'll need: COOKiES Telegram Media

Other info

The module's codebase was based on how Media Entity Twitter and Media Entity Facebook was written.
