I've used this extension for a long time, but there are actually websites like CNN that don't work with it now, because according to their lawyers they have to show that banner to everyone from the EU.
Do you have JavaScript enabled on that domain (CNN)? I use the NoScript extension as well as I Still Don't Care About Cookies, most JavaScripts are disabled (besides cnn.com and cnn.io), and I can read the articles just fine.
There was a period back in December that this happened to me. I use a combination of ublock origin, no script, privacy badger, and Ghostery — along with PiHole and NextDNS.
Yes, I know that’s probably a recipe for conflicting disaster, but like a lot of these temporary breakages, after about a week the problems with CNN disappeared. And I don’t think I did anything. But, I am US based too.

Or they could just not track people... ;-)
