I use Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin in the browser and pfBlocker-ng at the router - that is similar to PiHole.

You mention "I also have the same referrer" - I'm not too sure what that means.

It sounds like you might want to go easy on the funky stuff. Cookies are not totally evil!

Looks like bmicraft might have the answer:

> It's a feature of uMatrix that's enabled by default

And I don't think uMatrix is all that funky. It works on all other sites, after all(rarely I have to allow-all, but that seemingly does not include the Referer: header)
