Privacy first with perfect UX? That's our thing.
Data protection is not only a legal obligation, but also a basic requirement for trust and an excellent user experience.
While many video platforms meet GDPR requirements at the cost of usability, we take a different approach:
Solving data protection challenges while improving key UX aspects at the same time. No compromises, no tricks, no cookies – just 100% privacy-first video hosting.

"... no data protection consent or documentation obligations are required in relation to cookies. Since no technically necessary cookies are required, there is no need to inform the user about the use of cookies or to use corresponding cookie banners. In practice, this means that videos embedded in the website are displayed in any case, even if consent is refused."
Better integration for your videos
With traditional video hosting platforms like Vimeo or YouTube, you're stuck with cookie consent overlays straight from UX hell or a complex setup involving consent tools and cookie banners. With Ignite, you can leave all of that behind.
Typical cookie overlay with Vimeo
This overlay is mandatory above the video if visitors haven’t already consented via the cookie banner.
The same applies to YouTube and most other providers on the market – even those claiming GDPR compliance. To integrate their videos, you need explicit consent through a cookie banner or overlay.
Ignite offers a completely cookie-free integration.
No overlays, no barriers – whether with or without autoplay. Just seamless video hosting with no cookies and cry.
More Than Just GDPR: Setting New Standards in Video Hosting
We don’t stop at basic compliance. Our video platform eliminates cookies and third-party tracking scripts entirely. This guarantees that no personal data is collected or shared – ensuring privacy-first hosting at its best.

We Want More Because Your Web Experience Matters to Us
We believe that real progress is only possible when data protection and user experience go hand in hand.
Why should we accept the status quo? We’re all tired of cookie banners and broken web experiences. Nobody likes invasive technologies, yet they keep finding their way onto our company websites.
We believe it’s absurd that websites without cookies turn into a monster.
Our goal? To finally improve the web experience – for you, for us, for everyone. You’ve invested in elaborate videos, and we’ll make sure they’re seen. We believe privacy and great user experience belong together.
