[QUOTE="Ink, post: 742507, member: 3"] Got some questions regarding these cookie consent messages that we see on a regular basis. Cutting to the chase: [LIST=1] [*]Are these GDPR-compliant cookie consent messages complicated or misleading? [*]If I clear my browser history, cache and cookies on regular basis, do I need to consent again? [*]What's the best way to configure my browser to prevent advertising cookies? [*]Do content blockers (ie. adblockers) help in anyway? [*]What's happens if my Adblocker hides these messages, are cookies set? [/LIST] Here is an example of what I mean about "Cookie Consent for GDPR compliant sites".
