[Off topic]

I'm unable to access the site because of a cookie blocker that has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude - there is no option to opt-out of unnecessary cookies. These are the numbers of cookies that the site wants to set:

Necessary (18) Preferences (0) Statistics (10) Marketing (54) Unclassified (22)

18 Necessary vs 86 Other, and no way to opt-out of any of them!

My impression was that this was illegal under GDPR and that the site should work with only "necessary" cookies enabled, allowing users to opt-out of tracking where possible. Am I wrong?



Firefox and uBlock Origin user. Also couldn't read the article until I blocked JavaScript on that page. Site improves a lot without it.


I get GDPR-blocked as well, and your URL doesn't work for me either. Says "something went wrong".
