ghostery-extension: Ghostery extension blocks network calls to `*.onetrust.com/*` when Ad blocking is enabled
Description
Ghostery extension blocks network calls to *.onetrust.com/* when Ad blocking is enabled, even though OneTrust is categorized as Essential in the WTM database. This is blocking Privacy Policy content for a number of sites.
Expected Behavior
Network calls are not blocked so that Privacy Policies can be rendered on the site’s Privacy Policy page.
Actual Behavior
Network Call is blocked, so content cannot be served.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to https://onetoso.com/SE/otkicks/privacy-policy.html
- Observe that page is not rendered
- Turn off the Ad category and refresh
- Observe that the page is rendered properly
Versions
- Browser: Vivaldi 5.2.2623.46 (Stable channel) (x86_64)
- OS: macOS Monterey 12.4

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply. @philipp-classen try to close the pop-up that is behind the cookie banner then you’ll be able to interact with the website and navigate through the pages before interacting with the banner. thanks ray
Hello, I do confirm that the One Trust content is not blocked by Ghostery anymore. Thank you very much. Ray
Thank you very much. I’ll be keeping an eye on it. Thanks ray
Thank you for this update, this is good news 😃 Do we have visibility on the planning of delivery ? Ray
It is related to https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/768 and we are working on a solution in https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/783
From my understanding, it should fix the breakage related to blocking OneTrust. I’m linking it, so we don’t forget it in our tests.
