Unable to get past cookie/privacy acknowledgement screen- iOS, Safari, DNS filtered network by PiHole.

Once I disconnect from WiFi and refresh the page, I’m good for 24 hours.

so if you click 'confirm my choices', are you stuck there and it doesn't load through? I'm not too familiar with the workings of dns networks, but it seems as if its almost blocking the acceptance of the cookies ( you said when you turn off your wifi, you're all good). Maybe configuring your dns settings specifically for bikeforums would solve this

Unfortunately I’m unable to accept or decline anything, as the page doesn’t load appropriately for me to select anything. Confirm my choices does nothing there

Doesn't it say in what you posted that you can't switch the cookies off?

Sorry, where?

I can’t do anything with them as I mentioned, whether block or accept.

So that’s one type of the cookie/tracking here. Not sure if you are familiar with these types of things, but there are essential and non essential cookies.

if you review the picture further, you’ll note other adjustable preferences and text that states:

“Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies.”

My guess is the pihole is doing something to block some communication that the site actually does need. Can you whitelist for a minute and check?

Yeah I’ll just need to wait until it happens again. General browsing of BikeForums.net works until the advertising side pops up.

This button also doesn’t work.

Yeah the DNS filtering doesn't like internetbrands.com. I'll just continue with the workaround here, thanks everyone.

What's an advertising side? Are you really being served advertising from bikeforums? Because a titanium member shouldn't get any advertising. Need screen shots
