Ed: The 'we Value Your Privacy' Thing Is Popping Up Continually

[naomi24]

Just thought I'd mention it.

With those dratted pop up ads too

[teacake44]

Just testing your dexterity :0) ho ho ho and ho

[pastafreak]

I've been constantly getting it on my phone...now it's showing up a few times a day on my tablet. Both Samsung.

[teacake44]

Its a new Christmas game, if you click on it before two seconds are up, you get to have another go until it beats you.

[naomi24]

I'm on my desktop.

[teacake44]

Well get off it you'll break it.

This is not something we have been able to replicate here, which suggests the problem may be caused by your browser settings. You could test this by trying to access the website using a different browser (e.g. Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera) and seeing if this solves the problem.

Nothing popping up for me :-(

[Bobbisox1]

Changing browser doesn’t stop the ads but when I did from chrome to Firefox, the privacy thing did go but I had to continually sign in, not good

[naomi24]

SpareEd, it hasn't happened before today so if the browser is the cause, why suddenly?

[teacake44]

Just a heads up, I can't say I have experienced it before only when first signing in, and that's normal, however its like a yo yo today and I've changed nothing on my computer in the last 12 months. ?

[diddlydo]

Not getting it on my laptop using Chrome.

I keep getting the same and the blue privacy notice has disappeared.

[teacake44]

Boris will sort it on Friday.

Naomi24, we are not sure. This is not something that we have been able to replicate so it is not an issue that we have been able to investigate.

It could be to do with a browser extension you may have installed. In order for the privacy banner to stop popping up, your browser needs to accept cookies. There may be an extension or add-on which is preventing your browser from keeping the cookies. (Ad blockers sometimes do this).

[naomi24]

SpareEd, I haven't changed anything at all but it seems I'm not alone with it this morning. Oh well ...I thought it worth reporting. Thanks for getting back to me.

[ABSpareEditor]

I appreciate you reporting the issue. It is always worth letting us know in case it is something that we have control over.

[naomi24]

That's my thinking too.

The blue box hasn't been there for months, Danny (I just didn't want to mention it). I haven't had any pop-ups here, but I used to get them a lot until I changed browsers.
