Force Youtube Caption to OFF

I have an embed URL of a youtube video, where I am setting cc_load_policy=0 to force it to DO NO display captions. What happening is, captions are still being displayed on the video from Youtube.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to the URL => https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u_QKOrXyMM?controls=0&wmode=transparent&rel=0&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1&modestbranding=1&cc_load_policy=0&html5=1&widgetid=1
  2. Verify the above URL has cc_load_policy=0
  3. Click on the video and press C. Captions can be Turned ON/OFF by pressing C over again. Toggle the captions to be turned ON.
  4. Go to the Video URL again with cc_load_policy=0

Expected

Captions should not be displayed as cc_load_policy=0

Observe

Captions are still displayed even forcing cc_load_policy=0

The captions depend on users own preferences not by the developers preference.

Setting the parameter's value to 1 causes closed captions to be shown by default, even if the user has turned captions off. The default behavior is based on user preference.
