Practically this is the number one reason for our nice "attention, do not resits, we are using cookies on your electronic machinery" popups.
For quite a few sites its the only cookie you actually accept.
Its a s**t show really. Every single client ever now needs to have a cookie popup because google is going to punish you in your rankings if you do not use their integrations too.
And if you do use their integrations... you need a popup.... and dont even get me started about "legitimate interest".
But this is the way... I opt out as much as I can and block through the router as well as ublock.
The most interesting thing that i noticed is that if you block third party cookies in safari on your phone, some sites will show you a blank screen. Timescale does this (I have reported this as a bug month ago but never received feedback).
Its an amazing feature by now:
- the page loads and you can see the content
- the page trys to show you the cookie popup
- since i dont have any cookies allowed, the script will just completly blank out my page
welp. welcome to the future. Its not neccesarily better, but I can see them all now, which i guess is at least a step in the right direction.
