Cookie popup covers playback controls at the bottom of the screen when I send a link.

When sharing a link to a video, the video playback controls at the bottom of the screen are completely hidden by the GIGANTIC cooking warning. Please fix this.

    Hey batmacgyver, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    Can you please send us a screenshot of this warning, so we can take a look?

     

    Thanks!

      Screenshot of a shared video when first opened in a browser. Where are the playback controls? They're completely hidden.

       

      And only AFTER clicking "Accept all" do we reveal that playback controls actually exist:

    Can't the user simply acknowledge whatever the prompt is (I accept, or set their cookie preferences... I'm not familiar with what it's prompting) and then continue on to the content? That's how most cookie popups work.
