• Badge: ⚠️ Caution
• Red Flags:
  • RF1 — Own advertising / cross-service profiling
  • RF2 — High-risk third-country exposure without meaningful mitigation
• Risk Indicators:
  • Own-purpose data use (advertising); intrusive tracking; high-risk international transfers

Key Facts: Embedding a YouTube video causes data transmission to Google/YouTube US servers even before the video is played, including visitor IP and identifiers used for advertising profiling. CNIL fined YouTube €90 million (Dec 2021) specifically for setting advertising cookies without valid consent. The youtube-nocookie.com embed domain reduces but does not eliminate tracking. DPF provides current transfer basis (contested: CJEU C-703/25 P pending).

Framework Note (v2.2): FRAMEWORK NOTE (v2.2): RF2 (high-risk third-country exposure) is recorded here as a significant risk factor and lowers the domain E score. Under the revised framework, RF2 alone does not trigger Caution — the Caution badge for this service is driven by RF1 / RF3 / RF4 (as noted above). The US transfer risk (where applicable) is covered by DPF participation and/or SCCs, which GDPR treats as a compliant transfer mechanism.
