It's unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I'm sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.

So maybe I'll test it alongside Ublock.

I'm going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.

What does Ublock Origin do with cookies? (fedia.io)
 

I have been using Firefox with Ublock Origin as my main browser for a long while. Usually when I get a privacy prompt, I reject cookies, or maybe some sites that are more difficult take me a to a panel that wants me to switch off loads of individual trackers.

How does Ublock handle the cookies? Obviously some are required for site functionality, such as being logged in here, but if I accept cookies (or can't reject them) then presumably they are still accepted? Or does it accept the essential ones and delete third-party trackers?
