The "Privacy & Transparency" cookies pop-up on every single DU screen has returned for me

[muriel_volestrangler]

This didn't start immediately after EarlG's announcement of upgrades, but maybe 2 hours after that - about 2300 GMT/1800 EST yesterday? Every screen (and that includes when you hit the Back button to return to a previous DU screen) gives me a fairly standard "Privacy & Transparency" cookies pop-up - with "Manage Settings" and "Continue with Recommended Cookies" options (I've tried using both, but the pop-ups continue). I have not changed anything to do with cookie management on my PC (Windows 11, Edge browser).

1. I have been having the same problem...

It is a bit better on my pc, maybe slightly better on my iPad, but excruciating on my Android phone.

2. Thanks for the report

And I'm sorry this problem has returned. I'm addressing it with DU's ad partner today.

3. I've cured this twice by deleting all cookies connected to DU,

then logging back in.

This has worked on a Windows 10 laptop using Firefox. Fingers crossed you can do something similar on other platforms.

4. I guess I should have tried that myself. That has worked, for now

Strange that it suddenly started going wrong.

5. Bumping this for those affected by this problem

Deleting all cookies from DU in my browser settings, hitting "save" and logging back in cured it again.

It seemed to start on this occasion around midnight UK time, so if EarlG can find out what the ad providers did at that time, maybe they could either cut it out or do it differently!

6. Bumping again as notification popped up for me earlier

I clicked to acknowledge it twice, and it hasn't reappeared since, so if someone's tweaked a setting, it seems to have worked for me.
