Ironically the linked site doesn’t show content if you’re using an ad blocker.

Recently I’ve had sites block content just for rejecting cookies.

Very rarely do I ever see a site that allows you to "reject all" cookies. Almost always they require you to consent to "strictly necessary" (but also completely unnecessary) cookies. It's so fucked up.

What adblocker are you using? ublock on Firefox does fine

Edit: I’m not using ublock origin. I forgot I was using my iPhone with AdGuard.

Allowing all scripts it works for me, blocking only third-party scripts it shows a popup ad, blocking scripts of the domain too and inline scripts it works and uses less cpu.
