A site requires you to accept cookies or remove ad blockers, do you continue on?

[Bretrick]

Most times I leave the site.
Same as news sites that have pay walls. I click away and find what I was looking for elsewhere

Sometimes YouTube prevents me from watching videos because it says I have an ad blocker. When it does that I stick to watching YouTube Shorts (they don't complain). I think my ad-blocker is in a continuous arms race with YouTube because sometimes it doesn't work at all and other times it works.

I use "Brave", and have no ads on YT. If a site asks about cookies, fine....but no removing the ad breaking browser.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I decline cookies and still use the site.
I don't lower the ad blocker for anyone.

 

[horseless carriage]

Sometimes a site will say: "essential cookies," and you are more or less arm twisted into accepting cookies. All I do after visiting that site is to go to internet options, go to temporary files, cookies and internet connections and press delete.

Only if I desperately need to watch that video. Otherwise, nopers.

same... or if I can't get the info elsewhere... which is rare , otherwise no....

I certainly never pay to read a website..never...

 

[WheatenLover]

I decline everything. If Youtube says nope, you can't see it, I just duckduckgo the video and 90% of the time watch it elsewhere.

 

[katlupe]

I never turn the ad blocker off. Just leave. I pay for YT Premium so they don't put ads on the videos anyway. I will accept the cookies since I delete them periodically.

I browse incognito and accept all cookies when prompted or x out if I can do so without choosing. I've never had an issue using that practice. All history, cookies etc. are deleted with every closing of the browser and the browser is closed frequently.

 

[C50]

I decline all cookies, even from trusted sites I use on a regular basis, if that denys me access to the site so be it, my life goes on.

 

[Pinky]

Nope!

 

[AnneTeak]

i just say no and if it doesn't let me go further, i leave.

We cannot easily know if a website is using cookies without our consent because it depends on their legal jurisdiction and the wording in their cookie banners. Some jurisdictions require opt-in consent, while others may not, or consent is assumed when continuing to use the website. The United States does not mandate GDPR consent.

I decline. If I can’t read further, it’s closed.

Me too.

 

[JustDave]

Cookies not so much. For ad blockers, I will leave the site if they expect me to watch ads. I'm not going to give a site permission to turn off my safety features.

Accept cookies? Yes. Cookies are easy to delete.

Remove ad-blockers? No, I never do that. Sorry, but I simply don't want ads.

Pay walls? I don't pay to use any sites. Well,. bar one. An Ebay related site. But for news etc? No.

 

[TeePee]

I decline. If I can’t read further, it’s closed.

Me too!

 

[DebraMae]

I will accept or decline cookies depending on how important it is for me to see the site. I delete cookies periodically. Ad blocker is not something I am so concerned about. If a company really abuses it I will deny ads on that site.

 

[Jazzy1]

I don't disable my ad blocker for anyone.

I refuse their cookies too...I have my own.
