I just tried the United Methodist Church website [1] after disabling UBo and accepting cookies. It then GETs an events JS file from tiktok.com, which runs and GETs a main JS file from tiktok.com that then makes a POST request to tiktok.com containing my device, page url, referrer, session ID, useragent and timestamp.

If you are running uBlock then you are probably blocking google tag manager that initiates these calls.

Thanks for this. I hadn't considered googletagmanager.com but that appears to be the likely culprit as it is the common denominator between these sites.
