      You see what they’re actually doing there?

      “We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can’t come to the birthday party”.

      Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)

    Hahaha! “We need access to your private data to protect your privacy.” We’ve come full circle.

    I’m a noob… But hear me out. Does anyone make a browser extension that fools the site into thinking you’ve accepted the cookie(s) when you really haven’t?

      well, if the website thinks that it is allowed to store cookies, it will. but cookies make you easy to track across sessions.

      generally i’ve found that changing the useragent and/or vpn location will work.
