Add Do Not Track code to embedded Vimeo videos?

We recently implemented a cookie consent system to come into GDPR compliance, and on the first report after implementation, it said the Vimeo videos we have on our site (embedded into wiki pages) are firing cookies before users give consent. When the site was in development, we disabled iframes as a security measure and used the WYSIWYG embed function for these videos, but now we need to add a "Do Not Track" code to all of them. Is there a Verint-specific code we can add to the source code embed (instead of having to revert to using iframes) that will stop Vimeo's cookies from firing? Or better still, is there a button I can click that will prevent on-page embed cookies across the site from firing?

    Thanks  . 

    We used the WYSIWIG editor to embed the videos. (We have many employees embedding videos, and they do not code! So we need to be able to allow them to use the editor to embed.) That seems to automatically render the videos without iFrames. Your above suggestion would work if we were using iFrames, right? Or...how do we add necessary dnt code to the WYSIWYG embed code?

    The WYSIWYG embed still uses iframes to embed - in what manner did you disable iframes?

    The "automatic" embed for Vimeo files uses VimeoFileViewer plugin behind the scenes, which is an out-of-the-box implementation of the extensible IFileViewer interface. This plugin does not have any options for configuring the iframe or link rendering to accomodate Do Not Track requests.

    An alternative solution would be to create a custom implementation IFileViewer to render vimeo videos in the manner you require. That would still allow use of the WYSIWYG editor once the new viewer was in place and enabled, and the OOTB one disabled.

    That's the thing,  , I don't think I DID disable iframes. Not intentionally for wikis anyway. Is there a setting in Verint that I should revisit?

    There is a setting in Administration > Moderation > Filtering > Files and URL Embedding (and additionally controlled per content type at Administration > Applications > Content > [select content type] > Files and URL Embedding) that allows to disable iframes specifically for users adding them directly to content. This doesn't apply to all iframes the site may use, such as those for embedding external content from social media or video sites like Vimeo.
