aral, 
Just updated the video on my Streaming HTML article so it’s no longer using Vimeo’s video player (which has tracking) but a simple video tag.

(Sorry it took a little while, it involves a bit more work – but not much more – than simply copying the embed code over.)
PS. Would anyone be interested in a little write-up of how to embed Vimeo videos without their player/tracking but still keeping the closed captions?
