Description

Currently, external content, such as the tiles from the tile servers, is directly loaded when the page is accessed. It would enhance privacy if the end user had to first consent to this explicitly by pressing some button, something like it was done for the Embed Video (fork), e.g., as seen here: https://test.pro.wiki/wiki/20230626.

It should be configurable if this feature is active for the wiki.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how tile servers and other external content are loaded, then compare the consent behavior of the Embed Video (fork) example linked in the issue. Identify the configuration point for enabling the feature and define done as requiring explicit user consent before external content loads while preserving current behavior when disabled.
