No tracking or cookies
It does have a thumbnail, but you will not download it from YouTube. This also requests than no referrer information is sent to YouTube if you click on a video.
Data is shared with YouTube
These options will send data to YouTube each time you visit a page with an embedded video, even without you even playing any videos. It could allow YouTube to track which pages you are reading (even thoug the referrer sent to YouTube won't show which page you're visiting, but it can be deduced). The reduced cookies version will still store data in your local storage, and might still deploy tracking cookies; The intent is to embed videos without affecting your watch history or recommendations, see Google Support for youtube-nocookies.com. It comes with the drawback that YouTube actively blocks unathenticated users from using a VPN, but that's an issue you can ignore if it's not causing you issues.
