Restart, Load NordVPN before doing anything and then proceed or are the hidden cookies going to give you away?

“Restart, Load NordVPN before doing anything and then proceed or are the hidden cookies going to give you away?”

I am not sure what protections Nord can give you to prevent loading the JavaScript into your browser. They have the mess packaged with the JavaScript. And they make your browser accept the JavaScript to even use their site. Once it is attached to your browser it is riding around with you everywhere you go with that browser.

What they are doing should be illegal. They should dump absolutely nothing into your browser unless you agree to it. Some sites do this by telling you that it uses cookies and asks if you agree to them. Most sites do not, they just secretly dump them on you as soon as you land on the page.

In the very least they should have to have a disclaimer that they are using hidden tracking cookies even if you just happened to land there and have not agreed.
