Try to print preview this page:
<http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/29/scientists-favourite-jokes>
On my machine, I get a notice that the site uses cookies, followed by
eight blank pages. None of the preview contains any of the content.
I tried "printing" to a PDF file using doPDF from
<http://www.dopdf.com/>. I had no problems when my cookie preference
said to accept cookies only from the requested domain (i.e., no
third-party cookies). When I changed that to block all cookies, doPDF
died and could not be revived until I rebooted.
I tried printing to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 10; in that case I got nine
blank pages instead of eight, but this time no message from the site
about their use of cookies.
No, I did not get any message about the site requiring cookies.
However, I suggest you whitelist www.theguardian.com for Cookie Manager.
The SeaMonkey Data Manager does not seem to allow additions to the
cookie whitelist or to any other whitelist. To reach the Cookie Manager
whitelist, install the PrefBar extension, add PrefBar's Permissions Menu
from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#permissionsmenu>, select
Cookies, and select the Cookie Websites tab.
My default is to accept first-party session cookies only, and
theguardian.com is not specially listed. I see that The Guardian has set
a total of 22 cookies, so cookie blocking isn't the issue.
You're right that the SM Data Manager has an exceptionally uncooperative
and counterintuitive UI, but a skilled user can whitelist a site if he
makes a conscious, determined effort.
Any other ideas?
