Embedded YouTube video and privacy

MindBrief is built around embedded video playlists hosted by YouTube. The players use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain, youtube-nocookie.com. Before optional video technology is enabled, the player scripts remain inactive. After you allow the applicable category through MindBrief’s sitewide consent notice, embedded players can load throughout the site without asking again on each playlist page.

Loading or playing an embedded video connects your browser directly to YouTube and Google. They may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, the page you visited, and information about playback. If you are signed in to Google or YouTube, activity may also be associated with your account according to Google’s privacy practices. Privacy-enhanced mode is intended to limit personalization based on embedded viewing, but it does not make YouTube a first-party MindBrief service or prevent every transfer of information to Google.

You may decline optional video technology and use ordinary links to watch on YouTube instead. You can review or change your choice at any time through Consent Preferences. MindBrief does not receive YouTube advertising revenue and does not control cookies, advertisements or other processing performed by YouTube.
