Description

Per the email that was just sent out from privacy, we need to make our sites compliant with GDPR.

For both the calcite and avatica sites, link to the privacy policy: https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html

For the calcite site, we need to change the embeds for the youtube videos to a placeholder image that changes into the video player when clicked: https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html

I recently changed the jekyll-oembed plugin to jekyll-spaceship, but both jekyll-oembed and jekyll-spaceship embed the video directly and does not put a placeholder image, so this will need to be investigated. A potential fix is to just remove the embedded videos as we already supply direct links to the videos on youtube.
