FV Player should only show player if cookie consent is given (Borlabs Cookie)

Hello Christian,

thank you for your question and for using FV Player!

We do not support this yet. However, this is a very interesting suggestion. I will discuss your inquiry with my team and we’ll get back to you.

As of now, FV Player itself only uses the cookies for remembering the video position, sound level, playback speed and preferred video quality.
For YouTube videos embedded in FV Player, we do use the youtube-nocookie.com domain by default.

Thanks,
Maria

Hello Christian,

I found add that the youtube-nocookie.com domain is used for YouTube only in FV Player Pro Beta currently. Here’s how to switch to that: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta

Please let us know if it helps and then we can make it part of the release version.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your note about YouTube use. The last email still applies:

The difficulty with FV Player trying to not set cookies until allowed is that there are literally dozens of cookie assent software companies. It could turn into a full-time job just managing cookie assent integration. If you find out that there’s a general standard we can follow which all the cookie assent software developers embrace, we would seriously consider adding that code.

Hi Alec,

is it possible to wrap a wordpress shortcode around the player automatically? A shortcode, that can be defined in the plugin settings?

Borlabs Cookie plugin will then avoid showing the code in this shortcode until visitor gives his ok to show it.

Example of such a shortcode:
[borlabs-cookie id=”fvplayer” type=”content-blocker”]…blocks this…[/borlabs-cookie]

ID “fvplayer” is set by the user of the Borlabss Cookie plugin.

FV Player would only be shown, if visitor allows it in the cookie settings.

Disadvantage of this solution: User cannot decide: “I want to show video content of bunny, but not of youtube.” Instead all videos – independent from the source – are hidden or shown.

Would be great to implement such a solution to use FV Player according to the GDPR and cookie rules…

Thanks

Christian

Hello Martin,

I have setup a testpage: https://www.gluecksknirpse.de/stefans-seite/

Here I have added (below the 2 buttons – please ignore them) the following wp text:

[borlabs-cookie id=”bunny” type=”content-blocker”][fvplayer id="68"][/borlabs-cookie]

The id of borlabs-cookie shortcode can be set to any other id.

If you click on “Inhalt laden” (= load content), FV Player is shown – but with an error message.

Could you have a look in the source code to answer your question? ;-) I don’t think, that player is simply hidden with CSS.

Hi Martin,

thank you very much for having a look on this (again). I have no JS knowledge, so I hope that I have understood your correctly: Borlabs Cookie provides 2 JS fields:

1.) JavaScript stored in the Global field is executed as soon as a blocked content is unlocked by the visitor (i.e. only once per page). For example, use this to load an external JavaScript library.

To execute the JavaScript stored in the Global field before the blocked content is loaded, enable the Execute Global Code First option.

If this option is enabled (status: ON) and a visitor unblocks the content, the JavaScript from the Global field is executed before the blocked content is loaded.

function (contentBlockerData) { / Here is your global code / }

2. JavaScript stored in the initialization box is executed each time blocked content is unblocked (that is, as many times as the visitor unblocks content). The code is executed after the JavaScript from the Global Box.

For developers
The code is executed in a function that takes the variable el as a parameter. el contains the unlocked object.

function (el, contentBlockerData) { / Here is your initialization code / }
