I suspect that might be caused by pdf.js. While PDFy itself will attempt to send you a cookie (even if you just try to download the PDF), it should still work even if the cookie is rejected, as it's not dependent on it for serving the file.

Can you tell me what the name of the offending cookie is?

Chromium reports that there are only two things being attempted by the site: a PHPSESSID cookie, and localStorage. I can't seem to make Chromium accept only one or the other, I can only make it "Allow" for the entire domain altogether, both cookie and localStorage.

I have vague recollections about Chromium and/or Firefox confounding localStorage with cookies when it comes to allowing or denying.

Works fine without accepting cookies in Opera 12. Needs JS and iframes enabled.

In my case, Chromium 35.0.1916.153 .
