I can't seem to get the cookie page to pop up on this one even if I turn off adblockers, but in most cases yes.
Some sites I'll go to using my regular US-based IP address, and I'll have to manually click through to disable cookies, sometimes by category and sometimes individually for dozens or hundreds but to accept all is one click. It's heavily designed to pressure you to click accept all and move on.
If I connect to an EU country via VPN and visit the same sites on a fresh browser session, I'll see a similar "No I don't accept" popup.
Thanks for sharing this, looked into it myself and that's quite unfortunate.
Why does every piece of cool software end up having some reactionary midlife crisis behind them?
