Welcome R Jones, and well done on obtaining answers

To add my view, I was really taken by the phrase "if you are invited to participate" in the answer to that question. To me that suggests the webwise.net domain will be needed to browse the web wether you are opted in or out. It also mentioned the need for that domain in order to determine consent. that to me suggests that opt in or out is detected by a process using that domain - so if it isblocked, it cannot tell your status and doesnt let you proceed with any browsing.

However, if I have gotten the wrong end of the stick I am more than happy to have it turned around
