The oik-video plugin for WordPress provides the [bw_video] shortcode to easily embed the YouTube URL for your video.
[bw_video url=”http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/VO7xHz0sAxw?rel=0&hd=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D22&wmode=transparent”]
WordPress provides some basic video embedding functionality, but it quickly gets itself into trouble if you try to add additional parameters or modify the URL to reduce the cookies your website delivers. By wrapping the URL in the [bw_video] shortcode your content is protected from transmogrification.
