It is easy eough to fetch copies of YT videos once you know their URL. The
snag is when you can't find the URL without going into the YT site - which
means accepting at least some of their cookies/tracking attempts.

When needed, I just delete all the cookies the site dumped into my browser
once I've accessed what I wanted. Do that by direct editing of the
location(s) where they are stored on my machine.
