Just ran a few tests against gigantti.fi myself.
- My usual setup: Works without problems, but my Jolla is behind an ad-blocking DNS (similar to Pi-Hole DNS).
- Switched to some public DNS (9.9.9.9): Access Denied. Apparentently some ad-provider included in the site and blocked by my DNS triggers the problems.
- Switched back to my DNS: Still no access. Hence information about access must be persistently stored.
- Deleted most cookies: Site is back to normal.

I hadnāt actually tried the android app, but just the web app and the APIs.
