You know, normal sites make you accept the bare minimum that is required for the site to function, and give you an option to accept or reject all the tracking cancer and advertising plague.

    What part of the site breaks for this? It didn’t prompt me but then I remembered I have a blocker for third party cookies. No popup whatsoever for me.

      The whole page just dont work, because he denied consent blocking 3rd party with ublock or so just removes them and doesnt deny or accept them. So it doesnt “block” you as the fallthrough for many pages are “Consented”

        I turned my chrome setting off, deleted cookies from the last 24 hours and went back on and can’t seem to replicate OPs results. I don’t get prompted at all. I went on another site to see if somehow it was still chrome and got a cookie consent pop up on those sites but I wanted to see what parts of the site would break this way. I can’t figure it out.

          Could also be a location thing. If you’re in the US, the companies can legally stab you in the back and suck your blood, whereas in the EU they have to let me know what they’re up to.

      I’m using firefox focus when clicking unfamiliar links online, so it has no fancy plugins or anything like that. It asks for my consent, which I don’t give. Then, the site just tells me to sod off, if I don’t like their tracking cookies. Basically, none of the site is available to me.
