від Gianfranco, 4 місяці томуBroken cookie banners on multiple sites.
I wanted to report that this extension causes cookie banners to malfunction on various websites. The banners disappear after just a few seconds, without giving users enough time to manage their consent. I am experiencing this major issue also on my own WordPress site, which uses the Cookie Complianz plugin.
Since these banners are configured to automatically reject cookies when closed (keeping them disabled until explicit user consent), certain website functionalities break entirely. The only workaround is to disable the extension's ad/tracker protection, which the vast majority of users obviously won't do.
UPDATE - Reply to your answer:
Thanks for the reply, but there is a misunderstanding here.
I am using Complianz, not CookieYes (the link provided in your response belongs to a different plugin).
Complianz is strictly configured for prior consent (opt-in). This means that if Malwarebytes blocks cookieblocker.min.css, it doesn't cause trackers to load; instead, it completely breaks the banner layout.
The real issue is that the user is physically prevented from interacting with the banner because it vanishes immediately. If a user actually wants to consent to load a YouTube video, a Google Map, or a social widget, they simply cannot do it because the interface is broken by the extension.
This is a False Positive purely based on the filename string. Please consider forwarding this to the development team so they can whitelist or fix this specific filter. Thank you.

If users want, they can turn this setting off anytime for a specific page from Browser Guard's dashboard.
A quick heads-up: When someone uses Malwarebytes or another ad blocker, their consent is automatically denied. In those cases, your site should only use the essential cookies needed to keep things running smoothly.
Avoid blocking features for users with ad blockers — that could cause GDPR issues.
