Clicking "do not consent" does this.
FYI I'm in France, I clicked "do not consent", and now I see blank squares instead of ads with the text "Sponsored content".
I don't recall clicking anything that says do not consent and I also see black squares. I like it actually, rather than seeing actual ads.
Are you in EU? GDPR compliance.
I've also only been seeing the words "sponsored content." By the way, don't know if this is a bug or not, but ads don't show at all (not even the blank squares) when Compact or List mode is enabled.
I click 'do not consent', leave the dialogue page and open it up again and see that the consent for 'Legitimate interest' is ticked in, I.e not the way I left it. My worry, obviously, is that it doesn't save the state with the choises I've made.
This is the state after I've selected 'do not consent':
That's after you clicked revoke and reset it. When you click do not consent it's saved, you can validate this by seeing lots of ads not even load.
Thats confusing but ok.. so saved the state, only I cannot verify it since when i open the settings again it resets my choices. Not exactly great since the end user cannot verify their settings. Fine though, as long as it works.
