Service Blocking makes it easy to block third-party services that install cookies, but that comfort comes with a price: it may not be able to block all services and it might remove other assets by accident which were not intended to be removed. Please make sure, that your settings are properly tested on a test system before applying them to production. There is no warranty that it will work in all situations. I some edge cases it might even break your site.
