Heh, we had this problem with a work product a month ago. it's the suppress cookie popups feature.
Legislation in some areas requires people to opt in to cookies, but add blockers block the banner pop, so from a legal compliance standard they're not in compliance even though it's something the users are doing.
How would blocking the pop-up be violating the law, though? If the pop-up doesn't show, you're not able to agree to cookies. You don't provide your explicit consent, therefore the website must assume you don't want to be tracked. The presence of the pop-up shouldn't be changing anything for people not willing to opt in, should it?
Or perhaps they're self-aware and have set it up to only opt you out by filling out the form, which you can't do if it isn't there. Or they just want you to agree to those "required" cookies? I don't know.
Blocking the pop-up isn't violating the law. Nevertheless we needed the cookie for the login. If we didn't get you to authorize the cookie you really had no business in the app because it would not work for you. It was a bad design but it was third party.
But we couldn't even pop that up because the browsers just tried to slide by any notifications about cookies
It took me so long to figure out what you meant about accounts and stuff until I remembered you were talking about your own product. I get it now. Do you think it's a similar situation here, where the site is reliant on these third-party cookies to function at all?
