How do I bypass your blocking of Shockwave.com?

Until now I have used the site for tens of years. Now Firefox suddenly blocks access to the site saying iot is not secure. I want to bypass that warning and keep on visiting the site. How do I do it? I have a Macintosh system.

Hi, this is from shockwave.com's facebook page:

Hello SW Players, Unfortunately, due the General Data Protection Regulation coming into effect, any members who are part of the European Union will not be able to access our website until the site becomes compliant. We do not have an estimate of those updates at this time. We apologize for not alerting you prior to this change; that is definitely a failure on our side. If you are an Unlimited subscriber who has been affected by this, please send a message to support@shockwave.com to receive a prorated refund. Thank you for being a dedicated player. We apologize for this inconvenience and will keep you informed of any further updates.

Maybe you are referring to this block? It is not a block set by Firefox but by the website. I tried to access the site in Finland and it returns a 404 error, causing a blank page to be shown (see attachment).
