I took a look at the website provided and holy shit there are a lot of downstream providers. And when i click on the link for the first site I immediately get a pop-up warning from ublock.

Yeah it's ridiculous. And the wording on the cookie popup is confusing af.

It is. I thought It would let you opt out at that site. Nope you have to go to each of the leech sites individually and of course they are going to make it difficult as hell to opt out if they even allow it at all.
