Description of the issue: I would like to keep on using “Trackers & ads blocking: standard” or even “aggressive”, but unfortunately this will lead to some websites not working, because of their obtrusive GPDR modal. Is there a way to easily whitelist the problematic sites so that they’d bypass Brave’s trackers/ads blocking?
How can this issue be reproduced? In Europe, go to any such sites. For example: topautoosat dot fi
Expected result: Easier way around this than going to settings, turning trackers/ads blocking disabled, refreshing page, clicking OK to gdpr, going back to settings and enabling trackers/ads blocking. And then doing this all over again at some point.

In a new Brave Browser window, go to:
brave://settings/clearBrowserData
Select the Advanced tab
Set Time range to “All time”
ENABLE everything except:
Passwords and other sign-in data
(Myself, I would NOT make that exception)
(because I would have a backup prepared.)
(In other words, be prepared.)
Click on the “Clear data” button

Thanks 289wk! Well, this is even more complex as I thought. But if this is the easiest way at the moment, then I’ll have to mark it as a solution.
Here’s a feature request I found. If this is something you’d want to see in Brave, go on and vote, please:
Hi Brave team and thank you for this browser.
I used permissive ad-blocks on other browsers before you add the rewards feature because i would help nice creators.
I recently move back to your browser and i set up the protections. I’m afraid i don’t find solution to manually create whitelist with the websites i support with adds. Generally, i copy-paste my list from one ad-block to another. However it’s not possible with yours. It’s not a problem, i can turn it off one site at a time. But for …
