403 forbidden code -- a know problem -- BRAVE staff -- FIX THIS!

When examining the URL address (your screenshot, above) from left-to-right . . . and you reach -event/?utm, that ?utm portion (and then on, from left to right) means: the Google Urchin Tracking Monitor is probably involved.

Try . . .

Reproduce your steps, to get Brave Browser to go to the URL address shown in your screenshot, above.

When at the ‘givesmart.com’ website, set all of the Brave Browser site-specific Shields (Lion icon) settings to highest strength: Shields UP, Trackers & Ads blocked (Aggressive), Cross-site cookies blocked, Fingerprinting blocked.

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/shields

  • Disable: Auto-redirect AMP pages (AMP - Google’s Accelerated Mobile Page)
  • (Alternate setting for older Brave Browser versions, try: Disable Enable De-AMP at brave://flags)
  • Disable: Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences
  • Trackers & ads blocking: Standard
  • Enable: Upgrade connections to HTTPS (HTTPS EVERYWHERE toggle switch)
  • Enable: Block scripts
  • Block fingerprinting (aka Fingerprinting blocking): Strict, may break sites
  • Block cookies (aka Cookie blocking): Only cross-site

Next, go to: brave://settings/content

Scroll down, past Additional permissions to Content . . . and set:

  • Pop-ups and redirects: Don't allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects

Close that window.

Reload the ‘givesmart.com’ webpage.

If the ‘403 error’ remains, then, in a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/shields

  • Trackers & ads blocking: Disabled

Close that window.

Reload the ‘givesmart.com’ webpage.
