Hey, it's the website that decided to block you. GDPR just tells them to play nice, they decided they'd rather not play at all.

Of course, but my logic is like this:

- Is GDPR crating a new hurdle for websites around the globe? YES

- Will every website follow GDPR? NO

- Is GDPR creating privacy value for the user? I am not sure

Thus, it’s a classical trade-off decision. So far I’m not seeing the benefits. The downside is very clearly demonstrated in the above example.
