    Blocking the pop-up isn’t violating the law. Nevertheless we needed the cookie for the login. If we didn’t get you to authorize the cookie you really had no business in the app because it would not work for you. It was a bad design but it was third party.

    But we couldn’t even pop that up because the browsers just tried to slide by any notifications about cookies

      It took me so long to figure out what you meant about accounts and stuff until I remembered you were talking about your own product. I get it now. Do you think it’s a similar situation here, where the site is reliant on these third-party cookies to function at all?
