Embetty is a JavaScript library that embeds remote content such as tweets and YouTube videos into web pages without loading third-party trackers or compromising visitor privacy. It works with a companion server-side proxy that fetches the remote content and serves it to the frontend.

Use cases

  • embed tweets without twitter tracking scripts
  • embed youtube videos without google cookies
  • gdpr-compliant social media embeds
  • replace iframes with privacy-friendly embeds
  • lazy-load remote media on a website
  • avoid third-party requests on my blog

When to choose

  • you need GDPR-friendly embeds of tweets or videos
  • you want to avoid third-party cookies and tracking on your site
  • you can run a small server-side proxy alongside your site

When to avoid

  • you need a wide range of embed types beyond tweets and videos
  • you cannot host or configure the required embetty-server proxy
  • you want full official embed features like live widgets
