Question regarding Vimeo, GDPR, and cookies

[ad_1]

Hi,

First of all, I’d like to say that I’ve been using your plugin on several of my client’s websites and I’d like to say that I’m very happy with it. I had one website in particular that embedded interactive objects from many different services, and I was able to block the cookies manually using your plugin. So thank you very much.

Back to the topic. I’m trying to avoid unnecessary cookies on my own website, and so far I’ve managed to comply with the GDPR without a cookies plugin. Recently, however, I embedded a video from Vimeo using the “Do not track” option. Everything works perfectly, and no cookies appear, except in one case:

  • I’m logged in using any of my google accounts, AND
  • I access the post I’ve linked above

In this case, the “vimeo cookies folder” is full of cookies, including a couple of _ga cookies.

Is this really GDPR compliant? I know I’ve logged in into my Google Account, but I haven’t given permission to Vimeo to track me, even if I’m logged in.

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,

Montse
