Text field with Youtube without cookies

Automatically replaces standard YouTube embed URLs with the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain in supported Drupal text fields when content is saved.

Features

Text field YouTube without cookies automatically changes standard YouTube embed URLs to YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/

is replaced with:

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/

The module processes supported text fields when an entity is saved. It supports:

• string_long fields.
• text fields.
• text_long fields.
• text_with_summary fields, including both the main value and the summary.

The following entity types are supported:

• Content nodes.
• Paragraphs.
• Taxonomy terms.

Only the YouTube domain is changed. The video ID, query parameters, and remaining embed markup are preserved.

This module is useful for websites that embed YouTube videos and want to use YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain. It helps prevent YouTube cookies from being set before a visitor interacts with an embedded video.

Post-Installation

After installation, URL replacement is enabled by default. The module adds a configuration page at:

Administration > Configuration > Content > Text field YouTube without cookies

/admin/config/content/text-field-youtube-nocookies

Use this page to enable or disable the replacement functionality.

No new content type, text format, field type, or media type is added. The module works automatically when supported entities are saved.

Existing content is not updated automatically after installation. Existing embed URLs are replaced the next time the corresponding entity is saved.

The module only matches the exact pattern:

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/

Entities saved through command-line operations, such as Drush commands, cron, or migrations, are not processed.
