It's probably down to the GDPR regs

Its IS down to the GDPR regulations, even small websites like this have to comply with it.

I'm fairly sure the GDPR doesn't require it to pop up every few days for us to tell it "no, still don't want third party tracking", though; once should be enough.

Clearing your cache, deleting cookies and internet history etc will cause it to pop up when entering the site.

Also if POSTMAN has been doing any background stuff, which he will need to do on occasion, this may reset everything.

Please don't forget, even if the site looks professional, it is run and administered by amateurs so occasionally things may happen that will annoy you, but surely that's worth it to have somewhere to discuss and communicate.

Yes it's the GDPR crap and it was on the wrong setting for those who want to opt out...apologies.
It's been changed now to monthly, not daily which is what it was on.
Fingers crossed it works cause I've had a nitemare with this.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I’m browsing via iOS and that message is appearing every time I change page or clink on any link in the forum. Yes, constantly appearing and I have to click “I accept” every time to proceed. Is this an iOS problem? It’s annoying!

Shouldn't happen on every page obviously, it must be you though, being honest I have no idea.
The script is the most popular on the net and does not do this for me here or anywhere else I see it being used, on android, windows various browsers and Iphone and Ipad.

No, nothing unusual enabled apart from pop up blocker. It’s very annoying.
