I don’t think they’re allowed to do these fake loading screens in the EU
PS: in the settings of uBlock Origin, you can select a cookie banner blocker. This gets rid of 99.99% of cookie banners ✨ (there’re also options against newsletter boxes).

There’s loads of cookie-related things that aren’t allowed in the EU, it’s a shame nobody really seems to be doing anything about it. I still see non-compliant cookie consent screens all the time here, even on bigger, more well-known websites.
You should report those, because I guarantee that someone is doing something about it.
Keep in mind that companies outside of the EU that don’t reasonably expect to have many visitors from the EU, if at all, might not be held to the same standards as websites that obviously operate in the be EU. We aren’t the police of the internet, we can only tell EU countries what to do, so if you browse the American internet for example, you can’t expect to have the same level of privacy as the European web.
Cookie banners that block most of the page also not allowed, but regulations are not enforced, and companies always find loopholes to block their content with annoying cookies banners
Yea but from time to time, it’ll just break the entire site. I had a case where for some reason one of the ublock filters removed divs named “privacy” so the whole privacy policy page dissapeared. Happened on a website I was developing and didn’t understand what was happening.
I think I had this happen on tuta’s website as well

No idea if it’s allowed but I got that exact same popup in Europe.
Maybe it’s real then. Maybe the code is just that trash

I’ve at least experienced them in EU. I don’t know if the site was outside of EU but that should not really matter
