## What it is
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
