@thatprivacyguy I had read your excerpt:

"Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service."

And explicitly mentioned earlier I fail to make the connection between this specific paragraph and anti-adblock technologies.

Is there something I am missing? I am not really willing to read the entirety of the ePrivacy Directive, because, and I'm sure you'd understand:
- the vast majority of the document is not relevant to the way YouTube implements their anti-adblock techniques
- you specifically are the subject matter expert, and I believe it is less work for you to show me how the connection is made than the time I'd have to invest reading the document in full, possibly still not arriving to a conclusion, which is the point of this exchange in the first place
