While using the src as "youtube-nocookie.com" doesn't prevent all the cookie/local storage (see -> https://forum.ghost.org/t/howto-lightweight-youtube-embed-without-cookies/35350), which is still illegal according to EU GDPR. hence is there any way for customers like us who is using your lite-youtube embedding feature to have new consent related parameters, which would respect the website user's consent and prevent setting up cookie/local storage.
Correct; the nocookie attribute isn't for GDPR support and never was from YouTube's standpoint. It's only for their "Privacy-Enhanced Mode" which still uses cookies behind the scene, but doesn't track/personalize against the known YouTube user.

Because the iframe is lazy-loaded, you could do this a number of ways without any changes to lite-youtube. For example, you can put your own cookie acceptance in front before loading the web component. Basically, something to the extent of:
<script type="module">
const myConsentAcceptButton = document.querySelector('#myconsentacceptbutton');
myConsentButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
// great, consent, load the module
await import('lite-youtube.js');
}, { once: true });
</script>
<lite-youtube>
<!-- lightdom is replaced once imported -->
<button id="myconsentacceptbutton">I accept the cookies to watch this video</button>
</lite-youtube>
In terms of preventing the setting of cookies, I can't make that happen, as I don't control YouTube to that extent that would change the underlying behavior of the iframe that is injected.
I see, there is a basic setting here to add "nocookie" attr for using the src as youtube-nocookie.com while using lite-youtube for embedding.
