Bypass Gravatar's cookies?

Hey everyone,

For those who don't know, Gravatar is a service matching an image to an email. Netlify and tons of other places it use it.

The problem is, I just discovered that Gravatar sets a cookie that gets blocked by ublock origin.

Is there a way to bypass it by requesting the image via my server first, then relaying it? Is this even advised?

I know there's no such thing as a free lunch, so not using Gravatar is an option.

Cheers
