These blocked network requests can be that of "ads" or anything else which is worth blocking as per selected filter lists. For details about the blocked network requests, use the [logger](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger). uBlock Origin does not block cookies directly, it blocks network requests. If a blocked network request has a `Set-Cookie` header, the cookie payload will be blocked indirectly as a consequence of blocking the network request. \ No newline at end of file
