Why would the site be blocked in the EU? GDPR?

Too dumb to setup cookiebar, I guess.

I think it's a good idea, but I also envision a lot of cheating just to get free money. If they can tailor this so that cheating isn't possible then I think it's a great idea for some areas of the country.

Or too dumb to just not use tracking cookies in the first place?

After a certain point, cheating at scale is just studying.

I honestly feel like comments like this come from people who have never run a marketing team. Analytics cookies are very useful.

Setting up all the random shit gdpr requires (downloading and deleting data, protection officer blah blah blah) takes a lot more than a cookie bar. It's expensive and if the site doesn't make much money from europe, why the hell would it waste money on doing that?
