I have never seen this before. Usually once I click my preferences the screen just goes away. What’s the difference between those websites and this one?

    I’ve seen a website process literally over a thousand third-party cookies before, so maybe this one also just has that many to churn through

      Yeah, but you can do this in the background without blocking the whole page. In fact you have to go to extra lengths to make it “block” the whole page. Maybe it’s just some css that sets the cursor to the “loading” image, and then ignores mouse clicks for a while, giving the illusion of doing lots of work…
