Whenever I open one of these sites that asks me to confirm tracking, if it doesn’t have an easy way to cancel or reject, I just leave the page. The banner had hundreds of different companies listing “legitimate” reasons to track, and after turning off around 10, I noticed that I had hundreds to go. Sorry, I hope people enjoy your website. I just cannot see a reason to accept that amount of tracking. I don’t care that much about C++ anyway

None of it makes it through a pi-hole filter. Website is clean and coherent, no popups. What that implies for the attempt to track is slightly unclear to me, but I don't have great faith in the pop up box being honoured even if it loads.
