[fix] youtube - send CONSENT Cookie to not be redirected

Browse source 
In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW:
very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking.  To get the consent
from the user, youtube requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT
Cookie from https://consent.youtube.com

This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the youtube request to avoid redirection.
