All properties owned by Verizon Media (formerly Oath) redirect through the domain "advertising.com" (which is one of the domains they own) for their GDPR consent popup (shared consent cookie set on one central origin across all properties owned by that company).

This is a really bizarre decision tbh as "advertising.com" is not a well-known brand and not something their users would implicitly recognise or trust.

For other users saying it doesn't happen to them, I'm fairly sure the redirect is region-targeted to Europe.

I'm in Europe but I don't get this redirect when using a VPN.

I'm in India and I get this redirect without a VPN.
