Why is the cookie banner not showing up in my browser?

In some browsers — especially privacy-focused ones like Brave — the cookie consent banner may not appear at all. This is usually because of built-in privacy shields, ad-blockers, or content blockers that automatically suppress or “kill” cookie pop-ups and tracking scripts.

For example:

  • Brave Shields actively block common cookie banner scripts and consent managers.
  • Ad blockers (like uBlock Origin, AdGuard, or Ghostery) treat cookie banners as intrusive overlays and remove them from the page.
  • Privacy extensions may prevent the site from loading certain JavaScript files needed to display the banner.

If you want to see or manage cookie preferences manually, you can temporarily disable the ad blocker or shield for the site and reload the page.
