A more user-friendly alternative is a variant where the visitor is only track if he really wants to share the page. For this he has to click twice instead of once. The first time to load the tracking code , the second time to actually click on the like, tweet or plus button. A well-develop plugin has been develop for this.
VideoVideo files are large, so they take up a lot of server space and bandwidth. Different operating phone number library systems require different file formats and players for the same video, visitors with a slow connection want a small, low-quality file, visitors with a fast connection want a large, high-quality file. The arrival of HTML 5 has made it all a lot easier, but it is still a hassle. Sites like YouTube and Vimeo solve all these problems for you.
If you want, you can host your videos yourself, but this means a lot of extra work. I don’t know of an alternative that comes close to Youtube or Vimeo in terms of user-friendliness and accessibility. A middle ground could be a solution similar to the Social Sharing buttons: the video (including trackers) is only load after a picture of the video (without trackers) is click. Although I don’t think it’s difficult to make, I haven’t found an example of this yet. Maybe you have?

What can your visitors do themselves?
You may have, whether or not you know it, given companies the opportunity to track visitors to your site, but can the visitor do anything about it? Yes, they can. Showing video
There are a number of extensions or plugins available for web browsers that block marketing list (some of) the trackers. And also take away some of the functionality, because those handy like buttons no longer work since I install Do not track me , Disconnect and Ghostery . The latter minimum bureaucracy — maximum result seems rather dubious to me, to be honest, since it is own by the tracking(!) company Evidon . So I would choose one of the first two.
