A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

cookie banners is not the same thing as cookie/pay walls.
You are right, please excuse me.
So it appears, though I'm unsure whether it auto-accepts required cookies, those that have no opt-out option. If it's banners, and not walls, then UBlock blocks the banner and thereby doesn't give permission to store any kind of cookies, including the required ones. Kinda as if you browse the site without ever interacting with the banner.
Sadly, both need to trust that the site actually follows the rules and respects the selected/unselected cookies.
EDIT: Scrap all that, most sites don't respect cookies settings either way, might just get either of the above and Cookie Auto Delete or something similar.
