Solution

Links to tracking domains (analytics, pixels, etc.) will be blocked by users with adblockers like uBlock Origin or AdBlock. If these are essential resources, they won’t load. If they’re analytics, you may get incomplete data from users with adblockers. Consider using first-party analytics or privacy-respecting alternatives.
