Comment (by azaozz):

 Aahhh, I see, much better :)

 I'd still be a bit "wary" about the number of users that would agree to
 "marketing cookies". If the blocked scripts do some other things apart
 from setting the cookies, that may limit the site's functionality quite a
 bit.

 At the same time I think that GDPR and friends will finally manage to kill
 cookies usage completely, which is a shame. There are many many ways to
 track users that cannot be controlled as easily as cookies (anybody can
 delete their browser cookies at will and at any time). Killing cookies is
 pretty much "lost functionality for websites with no improvement for user
 privacy". But that's another discussion :)
