Deliver cookie- and consent-free videos with the 3Q player

Why embed a cookie- and consent-free
video player?
A cookie- and consent-free video player is particularly advantageous for companies, public authorities, and educational institutions that want to ensure legally compliant, user-friendly, and accessible video usage.
No consent requirement: As no technically necessary, tracking or marketing cookies are set, user consent is not required. This allows the video to load immediately upon request.
Full visibility of video content: Videos are immediately visible to all visitors without interaction barriers, regardless of whether they have consented to the use of cookies.
Improved user experience: Viewers do not have to set any cookie preferences or click away banners. This improves user experience and reduces bounce rate.
No third-party monitoring: If no tracking takes place, no personal data is passed on to external platforms (such as YouTube/Google).

Some of the most frequently asked questions

When should you request consent for video playback?

The 3Q player is inherently CMP-ready, meaning it can integrate with a Consent Management Platform (CMP).
This is particularly relevant for content providers who want to display video ads and use tracking to collect data.

Will website visitors be tracked?

You can rest assured: 3Q avoids unnecessary tracking, does not process personal data, and all statistics are always anonymised. By the way, all 3Q servers are located in Europe, and 3Q solutions are 100% GDPR-compliant.

What if I have specific requirements?

Video content delivery requirements can vary widely. If you have particular specifications, please let us know and we will introduce you to our API solution.

How do I embed the player on my website?

You can embed our player into any website or portal using JavaScript, IFRAME, or oEmbed.

What media can the player play?

The player can play video and audio files, as well as podcasts, either as livestreams or on-demand. These can be organised individually or, for example, in a playlist.

Which devices are supported?

All current and older internet browsers and devices are supported.

Does the player use cookies?

The player does not use cookies. However, if you use ad integration (advertising), you must connect your consent framework/software (TCF v2.2 Standard) to our player.

Do I need to display a privacy banner before the player?

No. You enter into a data processing agreement (DPA) with us. It is sufficient if you list us in your privacy policy. For more information, see: Privacy and Policies.

Can I integrate advertising into the player?

Yes, you can. The Video Advertising module places pre-, mid-, and post-roll ads in livestreams and videos. For this, you need AdTags or VAST URLs from VAST and VPAID-enabled ad servers. Your marketer can provide these.

Can I access player usage statistics?

3Q offers comprehensive video analytics for monitoring and optimising video performance and viewer engagement. We provide statistics on player impressions, playback starts, average watch time, and many other KPIs.
