The few sites just list the advertising slop as necessary but I'm in the US so we have no protection laws. I block the pop ups and set Firefox to block from not from visited sites and clean them out frequently. Not to mention DNS filtering, Privacy badger, and uBlock Origin (or adNausium).
Trying gadgethacks I get no popups and no blocked screen, checking the actuall cookies I have 2 from the website and none from anywhere I haven't been to. I also find using an user-agent spoofer and pretending to be a PS5 or a google webcrawler gets around a lot of things.
