You can just click back and it lets you read. I don't like the redirect, but nothing is being blocked.

Seems that happens only once, but you can go back and are not nagged again. So he doesn't bare you from reading it, just takes the opportunity to explain why he is not happy with our decision.

What is the GDPR acceptance interface being used here? I am assuming it is a plugin or third-party service, since Macrumors have an identical one.

I'm using QuantCast Choice Wordpress plugin.

Just wondering, why don’t you disable all of that tracking? I just checked the opt-out screen and there’s literally hundreds of ad “partners” (partners in crime that is).

Ironically, one of those “partners” is called AntVoice.

I guess VPN providers are the only ones who applaud the GDPR ;-)

Only if you have JavaScript enabled apparently. Works for me.

You don't need to disable JS entirely; disabling JS by default from third party origins (i.e. uMatrix) is entirely sufficient to block almost all of these things.

This should be a thing like tl;dr

eu;cr

Or just a mirror of pages (like archive.is?) that don't do any user tracking, so no GDPR "wall" required.
