cookieblock's Issues

Couchsurfing.com issue with cookieblock

When cookieblock is present without site exception, it does not seem possible to make any change/edit.
Web developer tools show return HTTP 422 Unprocessable Content - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/422 and page displays

The change you wanted was rejected.
Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

Request headers cookies don't seem much different.

_safe_cookies__known_cookies	"XSRF-TOKEN|_hammertime_session|remember_user_token|ht_utm_campaign|ht_utm_source|ht_utm_medium|ht_utm_content|ht_utm_term"

is there a way to identify how cookies are classified and which ones are removed?
don't see a clear match with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dibollinger/CookieBlock/main/src/ext_data/known_cookies.json

Tested on Firefox 115esr Linux with pages
Edit Profile: add country - https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/profile?id=xxx
Edit Message Template - https://www.couchsurfing.com/message_templates/xxx
Likely need an account which need both registration and pay.

Confirmed not related to Firefox Tracking protection or other browser extension like ublock or privacy badger.
Normal workaround: add an exception for site

Microsoft Outlook - Something went wrong

Hi,

With the extension enabled, Not only does Microsoft outlook ask for authentication everytime you try to login but it also presents the following page:

I would kindly appreciate it if this can be fixed.
Thank you

Broken funcionality - list of websites

I think it would be good to start reporting all the websites which are getting partially broken due to the default settings applied in CookieBlock.
In this case, we could perhaps create a white list?
Ideally, it would be great to report a broken functionality directly via the extension.

My findings:

• linkedin.com: dark mode does not work
• youtube.com: once the user logs in to the service, they are not being remembered (even if their avatar is still shown in the corner)

posteid.poste.it missing QR code used for login

Steps

• open an Italian government website that requires to login with SPID, for instance
  https://portale.agenziaentrate.gov.it/PortaleWeb/home
• click "Entra con SPID"
  
  "
• select "Poste ID"
  

and the PosteID login page shows a username and password on the left and a qr code on the right. The last one is used to login through the smartphones without having to put credentials and OTP.

If Cookie Block is active for https://posteid.poste.it, the QR code is not displayed

workaround

whitelist https://posteid.poste.it

Safari extension

Not really an issue, more of a request - are there any plans to offer a Safari version? That would help for Apple devices (computers and mobile devices).

Add spanish translation

Hello,
I was just wondering if you could add locales/es to your fantastic extension.

It would be interesting to have a website like weblate.org to make translations.

I hope you find the translation useful,
greetings

PD: Sorry, I was unable to open a pull request.

bancaprogetto login at user's area is broken

CookieBlock is setup with "Allow Functionality Cookies (recommended)"

Steps

1. open bancaprogetto.it
2. click "Area Privati"
3. now the page begins with https://ihbnext.cedacri.it

actual behaviour

After trying to login with my credential, the bank says it's wrong (which is not).

workaround

adding https://ihbnext.cedacri.it as a domain exception in CookieBlock

Feature request (from feedback form) - statistics in icon like uBlock

It would be interesting to have statistics directly on the page used, like uBlock, it permit also to the user to see whats is going on with the current page.

Implementation insight: this would be easy for first-party cookies, but with third-party cookies the extension API does not tell us to which tab these cookies belong.

DigiD _session_id flagged as advertising cookie

_session_id cookies are required to log in to DigiD, the login portal of the Dutch Government.

Add Japanese translation

Hi,

I will provide a "Japanese" json file for the extension CookieBlock version 1.0.0.
CookieBlock locales_ja-JP.zip
.
Best regards

Can't log in to any website in Chromium

The extension prevents a successful login to any website in the Chromium browser when Advertising/Tracking Cookies are not allowed.
I fill the login information and when I click OK I'm redirected to the home page of the website as if I just logged out. The extension is set to Allow Functionality Cookies.
When I try the Firefox extension it works as expected with the same exact configuration that fails on Chromium (Functionality Cookies allowed and Advertising/Tracking Cookies not allowed).

Cannot log in Wikipedia with CookieBlock set to "allow functionality cookies"

My CookieBlock is set to "allow functionality cookies". I cannot log in Wikipedia: it shows error No active login attempt is in progress for your session. I have to add the domain of Wikipedia to the exempt list of CookieBlock to make it work.
