Probably because of the big cookie-banner (which is not allowed in the Netherlands with current privacy laws). If you use an ad blocker you just see a big beige screen.

Please just don't track users, anonymise your analytics. The Dutch AP has a PDF guide on that.

    For me it only gives a full-screen “by using this websites you agree to cookies” dialog, with only an OK button.

    This is not how it should usually go in the GDPR.

    Note that the GDPR does not ban all cookies without consent. Some may be absolutely required for the functioning of the website, and are thus allowed without consent. An example would be cookies to save language preferences. Technically speaking, the GDPR doesn’t even mention cookies. It just says consent has to be asked when the website is processing PII that isn’t strictly necessary for the functionality.

    That said, once you do process PII that isn’t strictly necessary, you must ask for consent, and you must also provide an option to decline.

    The form as such with only an Ok button doesn’t allow me to figure out whether these are necessary cookies, and if they aren’t it doesn’t allow me to decline.
