Most times I leave the site.
Same as news sites that have pay walls. I click away and find what I was looking for elsewhere
If you go to a site and you’re required to Accept Cookies or Remove Ad Blockers, do you continue on?

Accepting Cookies, takes the biscuit

I don’t worry about cookies, my browser is set to delete all cookies on exit and I have anti tracking turned on so the tracking doesn’t work either. You have nothing to fear there.
How do you think this forum knows who you are were it not for cookies?
Paywalls are a different thing but there are plenty of web sites to overcome pay walls if you really want to.
Personally I rarely boother

all you need to do to remove most paywalls is press the esc key quickly enough or go to “more tools” then “reading mode” (on chrome)

The great thing about requests to remove ad blockers is that they usually/often have a “Continue without supporting us” button.
On the rare occasion that I really want to see the site and they won’t let you unless you “whitelist” them you can select doing it to automatically relist them in just a few minutes.

I am back to being a happy bunny.
Ghostery has fixed the problem with watching YouTube videos so I was able to disable Ad Block and go back to Ghostery - I prefer the latter’s anti tracking ability.

Cookies & cache are routinely deleted from my PC every few days anyhow & I use CCleaner, which allows me to save my wanted cookies & cache & I go through that list regularly. So deleting cookies & cache are no big deal. I also have a Browser set up to delete everything on close down. So when I want to use something like a local newspaper that insists on adverts, I use that. Also, some sites, like my local newspaper site, allow new visitors a few visits before they put up a paywall. So having a clean browser every time I use it. Allows me 100% free access to some paywall sites.

I accept cookies but clean them out with PrivaZer once in a while. It’s possible to keep selected cookies with that, such as login ones. if I come across a paywall, toggling JavaScript off usually gets around it. some browsers offer an extension for toggling JavaScript off and on.
