    The consent form is a third-party plug-in which needs to set a cookie. If you allow third-party cookies on the site it’ll work, if you block them it will fail.

    If you allow third-party cookies on the site it’ll work for some people, on some devices

    Only fix for me was to change browsers. Bit of a pain but actually it’s improved the experience quite a lot. Better navigation and pinch zoom works better too.

    Sorry, I should’ve said, it *should* work. If it’s not then we’d need to know details of your configuration to go any further.

    but why every 2 weeks or so on ea device?

    Have you got your browser set to purge cookies every two weeks? I haven’t seen the pop-up on anything for months.

    Never get logged out on my phone. Always have to log in on my laptop. Windows 10, fully up to date. Windows defender.

    I have third-party cookies blocked (no exceptions) on all platforms and browsers and I don’t get the popups.

    The popup only needs to set a cookie because it’s badly written: it should try to write a cookie (which will of course be a third party cookie), if it can’t then the browser user doesn’t want third party cookies by default that includes all the tracking and advertising cookies no need to do anything more like pestering the user. If it can write a cookie then it asks for preferences.

    Logging out? The standard time periods for WordPress login: 2 weeks if I check the “Remember me” box, two days if I don’t. I’ve posted the fix to change this to indefinite (or any other period) before so it’s not fixed.

    Never really got it but a couple of weeks ago I get it EVERY time I go to a new page.
    Website – get it
    Click forum get it.
    click on title get it
    click next page get it……

    Is there something I can check in settings or anything I can check to try and stop it?
    Like I said never really got it but now every bloody time…
    (windows, google chrome)

    Cookie tool doesn’t fix it (still), cookies set to be accepted, don’t get this on any other site, didn’t get it on here before the upgrade.

    I don’t get it on here but do on Imgur.

    I get it twice per page change (well, I have to click the button twice to move on!). Chrome, Android Pie. Unless I get my VPN to pretend I’m from the US, ‘cos GDPR=EU and amazingly enough the plugin seems to be coded to check that.

    So try setting your VPN to outside the EU is what I’m saying.

    So to stop this ruining browsing experience I have to allow unknown 3rd party cookies?

    Seems secure…

    I stopped browsing STW after being told to FO over commenting on the increasing clickbait content on Facebook. I’ve just started using it again!

    Change this setting, disable that, pretend to live in another country. VPNs, cookies, adblockers. I’m an IT numpty, but if so many people are having these issues, doesn’t it suggest it’s the way the software is designed and maybe not the users’ fault? I don’t want to mess around changing settings I don’t understand for one site, when all the others seem to work fine without. This place is a font of knowledge so I will carry on and deal with the RSI from constantly closing that effing box when it inevitably arises!
