Comment:

 Based on the above discussions, the best option is to add support for the
 `youtube-nocookie.com` domain name to the automatic oEmbed handling, so
 site editors can choose to use that domain name and have embeds work as
 expected. The latests patches from @adakaleh do this. Testing of those
 patches would be appreciated.

 There are plugins that have been available for many years that address
 general privacy concerns with embeds, and not just specific to YouTube:
