If privacy matters to you, you should at least be using a JavaScript blocker/whitelister such as NoScript. With this, the entire page is readable and there is no popup; no first-party cookies are added as far as I can tell (and I have Firefox configured to block all cross-site cookies, which doesn't break this page); and the YouTube video is replaced with YouTube's "Error 153" placeholder with a direct link to the video.

> If privacy matters to you ...

Ffs, stop with the gatekeeping please. Yes, privacy matters to me. Nah, not doing all that. Instead, I reported them to uoou.gov.cz/en for this gross violation of GDPR.

It is not at all "gatekeeping" to point out simple actions you can take (and it really is simple) that are consistent with your stated goals.
