I was trying to read an article the other day and they had a reject all cookies button. When this is an option I always use it but this one redirected me to a page that told me they won’t let me view their articles if I don’t let them track me. It went on to talk about some bullshit sob story about how it’s the only way they can be profitable and that they pinky promise to be responsible with the data collected.
I always just reject cookies but if they start whining about adblock I’m out (apparently even when it’s YouTube)

Healthline (or one of their sites with a different name)?
Haha, spot on. I guess you’ve encountered this too?
Yep. I don’t even think it’s legal. I’m an EU citizen and with the GDPR I should be able to browse the damn thing without cookies…
lmao it’s funny how pathetic they will get
