> In fact, since in parallel to the question of your legal basis under GDPR, you also have to comply with the cookie provision from the e-Privacy Directive, where there is no "legitimate interest" exception to the requirement to ask for consent, you will have to ask for consent anyway (as Instagram embeds place cookies).

I don't think that's true. The cookie provision is misunderstood when you think you have to ask for consent for functional cookies. Follows from the GDPR, and there is no specific cookie law actually implemented in european countries. See also https://gdpr.eu/cookies/. Ah, but maybe I misunderstood and you are only talking about the cookie set by the embed?
