This thread is for Kotaku.com, same as threads no. 1871 and 35713, both closed for inactivity.

I found a tracking pixel at https://kotaku.com/fans-are-upset-over-youtube-duo-game-grumps-break-up-585225892, while using uBlock Origin with dynamic filtering disabled. Oddly, I was only able to see it once. I don't know whether this is because it randomizes domains, because Kotaku associated the tracking pixel with my IP, or if it has something to do with disabling Firefox in-built tracking blocker (I had it enabled when I encountered the pixel).

The tracking pixel is located at
https://d2p3zdq8vjvnxd.cloudfront.net/?s_id=####&m_id=######&consentUUID=########-####-####-####-############&requestUUID=########-####-####-####-############ (IDs and UUIDs redacted). Despite having a consentUUID parameter, at no moment did I find a privacy management popup (and I don't use lists that would block those).

Visiting https://d2p3zdq8vjvnxd.cloudfront.net/ with no URL parameters will retrieve a single GIF image 1×1 pixel anyways.
