Thanks, useful information.

A bit funny that this page does show a large popup so that you can accept their use of cookies.

I never want to accept popup that isn't required. Why do we even have that.

That website has a popup when I load it from the UK.

"We use essential cookies to make our site work. With your consent, we may also use non-essential cookies to improve user experience and analyse website traffic.

yes. they set marketing and tracking cookies.

if you're not doing that then they're telling you that you don't need a pop-up.
