CAUTION: NEVER ADD YOUR WEBSITE DOMAIN TO THE LIST OF BLOCKED DOMAINS OTHERWISE ALL CSS, JS RESOURCES OF YOUR WEBSITE WILL BE BLOCKED!

CAUTION: you can't block a resource that is cached using a whatever Joomla! cache or a third-party cache, otherwise it won't be refreshed when Accept/Decline is chosen.

TIP: if you experience website slowness switch to the 'Advanced' blocking system.
