Still doing it for me. Details of OS and Browser were posted earlier in the thread.
It’s gone, I’m back.
Yep. Glad it's fixed! Thanks to whoever for rectifying it 👍

Not for everyone it's not.
I've deleted all cookies for STW (again) and I still get it every page.
I have always just continued with recommended cookies, and so far nobody has either turned up at my house to sell me a toaster, found me and stolen my car, sold my geolocation to international spies or hacked my bank account.
I'm not sure how true it is, but I once read that tracking cookies are shared by a lot of sites so if you've clicked accept recommended cookies on another website, chances are you've already given away permission to the same people that you're trying to remove it from on this site.
Well if anyone's interested I'm still getting it. Chrome on Android (tablet). I'm leaving "legitimate interest" ticked and selecting save. Beginning to get a little tired of it now.....
It's fixed for me, ta (W10 Firefox) but when trying different ticking options when it was misbehaving I found that the same number of cookies got installed whether I ticked or unticked the legitimate interest box, just over 100.
Despite various claims that cookies "improve my experience" on some sites (not STW) I've never noticed any difference with or without, so why would I want cookies which let's face it amount to spyware if we're calling a spade a spade? There is no benefit to the user, only the advertisers.
Another point is why do companies bother to provide a with cookies option when there's a continue without cookies option? Who in their right mind would consent when the sites work just as well if not better without?
Right. I'm off. Can someone let me know when it's actually sorted please? I may be some time....🤔
Fully paid up member and it's happening on my phone, iPad and PC.
Works fine on both Chrome and Brave on Linux, and Brave on Android.
I never do blind accept all. I have Allow Cookies set, but block 3rd party cookies, delete all cookies on browser exit, but singletrackworld.com whitelisted as allow cookies (so they don't get deleted).
I think I had the privacy thing once and something about legitimate interest. I would have allowed stw stuff but disallowed anything that looked like it might be a 3rd party.
And the Awesome Cookie Manager tells me I have 21 STW related cookies (most of them EZxxxxx), not 100 like mentioned a few posts above.
44 cookies when logged in 227 when not.
What do 44 cookies do?
I'm logged in, subscriber. Just getting heaps of ads on the forum. Never used to.
I guess GDPR compliance doesn’t extend to todmorden, that figures.
It's supposed to be one click to reject all cookies and one for legitimate interest. There is no legitimate interest for spying on your customers, none at all.
Ironically (for me) I just renewed my sub and switched to the less aggressive Safari to come back. Back to Brave and all shields up it is.
EDIT and the problem is gone. The shields pane shows "3 cross site trackers and other creepy things" in the dialogue.
@pampmyride - it says you are a Free Member so I guess your subscription has expired.
Still happening for me on Chrome on multiple devices. I have found another browser that doesnt have the issue.
Got a warning for saying what it was. So emailed tech with the details instead.
It's stuff like this that does make you question the point in subscribing.
Yup, still happening to me every single page. Android Pixel 3a and Chrome
3 cross site trackers and other creepy things
It occurred to me that they are logging my use of sites I'd get banned for naming here. :/
Still cr@p.
Popup on every page on Chrome (android mobile) and desktop (chrome, win10). Site is completely unusable.
I'll be cancelling my sub. This is ridiculous.
Not now doing it on my Ipad or Android phone but still every click on the laptop. I haven't done anything to the Ipad or phone to make it SOD OFF.
Pile 'o' shite.
Sorry you’re still having issues I have some feedback from tech.
We're currently investigating it with our ad provider. They have a suspicion of what it could be and have provided a vague solution. Will be trying it tomorrow.
We have worked closely with our advertising provider that handles the CMP (the pop-up) and they have provided us with a solution to try. We will implementing this tomorrow morning.
The cause could be from the previous CMP that we used with our last as provider and some of the settings still lingering and interfering with the current CMP.
The reason our cookie killer isn't sorting that issue out is because it removes the cookies for singletrackworld.com
The cookie in question is registered to .singletrackworld.com
Notice the leading period on the later domain. We will implement a fix to remove this cookie on that specific domain. We will also be amending the cookie killer to do the same.
If anyone wants to try this out for us and clear those cookies themselves and feedback to us if that works, that would be much appreciated.
Once again, sorry for any inconvenience caused and we are working on getting this fixed as soon as possible.

That sounds very unprofessional and not at all hopeful. Is their ad provider run as a school project? 🤦♂️
And some wonder why we don’t always provide feedback.
And some wonder why we don’t always provide feedback.
Indeed.
If people could feedback to say if they are still having issues this morning, that would be great.
Still having the same issue
Same issue still persists for me
OK for me now on Android phone and Chromebook, but still get the pop up on every page on my Windows 10 PC (Chrome browser).
Still the same, every page. Chrome on Android tablet. Logged in.
It’s still not working for me, IPhone 8
ios15.4 using Safari.
However, on my old iPad 4 running iOS 10.3.3 every thing works fine ! 🤷🏼♂️
Give up , can’t be bothered any more.
Saw this thread and Tom's update on another browser that must not be named by me.
Opened sit on Chrome - same issue.
Deleted cookies for Singletrack. Closed Chrome, opened fresh instance of Chrome, came to STW and got the privacy popup (back to having legitimate interests boxes all ticked sadly), unticked everything and hit save settings - so far so good.
All of the above I'd done multiple times before so whatever change was done this morning seems to have worked for me.
Will update if anything changes.
Still fine on this old iPad, unusable still on iPhone 8.
If anything has been done this morning it's made no difference whatsoever.
Nothing will have been done this am as it’s a Saturday.
Still getting this on every page. Chromebook
Still the same on my laptop using Chrome, doesn't happen using Edge.
Still getting it. Shame, I miss this place.
So an update.
1st Tom is on holiday until tomorrow, but in his absence we haven't stopped work on this.
The issue, as we can determine, is that we used a Consent Management Service provided by a company called Quantcast before we moved to our current provider, Ezoic. The consent cookies that were set by Quantcast are still there in the browsers of the people who are affected by this constant pop up. The reason is that old cookie is preventing the new cookie from being read correctly by the new consent management protocol (CMP) and that means it can't tell that you have already clicked the button and registered your consent.
This is the reason this is so hard for us to fix - the file (cookie) that needs to be removed is not on our website, or our servers - it's in the cache of the browsers of the affected. We can't reach in there and delete them although we are trying to create a way that you can do this yourself with a click of a button in our own 'Cookie Killer'.
Our Cookie Killer doesn't currently fix the issue as the cooke that needs to be removed is not ours to remove - it belongs to Quantcast, who we don't use anymore.
For those that are technically OK with finding cookies and deleting them you are looking for up to 3 cookies named as follows...
.singletrackworld.com
www.singletrackworld.com
.www.singletrackworld.com
Notice the important full stops in front of two of them. These are the cookies we are trying to target. If you know how to do so then you could try finding and deleting them.
Despite them using our website URLs these were set on our behalf by Quantcast. They will contain the information relating to your consent choices when the Quancast CMP was last active, which was around September 2021.
We are going to publish a page of instructions for exactly how to find and remove these cookies for the various browsers that are used but while we do that we are also continuing to try to create a more easy to use solution through our Cookie Killer.
Well I've not done anything to my laptop or phone and both of those are working fine now!
Whatever has been done at your end has worked . Thanks very much for all your fault finding.
Same here when I posted "I'm back" a page back. The Firefox W10 PC just started working normally again and so did the Android phone, previously clearing cookies made no difference so something must have been done at your end that stopped the problem.
You're literally worse than Hitler.
? , Cougar. Just providing feedback. How would cookies from September still be on my machine when I've cleared them multiple times since? Not being funny, it's a real question, does clearing cookies (phone) or using Ccleaner (PC) not get rid of all the little devils? And I thought DuckDuckGo (phone) got rid of them every time I hit the burn symbol.
Mark, I meant. Sorry, poor attempt at a gag.
So deleating cookies and clearing the cache of the browser seems to have worked!
You’re literally worse than
HitlerThe Stasi.They would have wet themselves for the ability to set things on other peoples machines that could not be removed.
Dunno what you've done, but problem seems to have gone away.
