Every time I do anything on here (e.g. change category) I am asked to agree to AB's use of my data. It's become intensely irritating. Can it be turned down a bit so it only asks me to agree when I first start my session?

It seems to come in spells- for maybe 5 minutes I'll get it every time I change categories or open a question and I have to click Accept/Agree on two screens one after the other; and then it stops happening for a while. Someone has given a link to an "I don't care about cookies" site which has a helpful tool
Having had the same problem myself .. this sorted it out in a few clicks .. just select your browser and follow the instructions.

This has been reported several times. Apparently the 'Privacy' notice is supplied by a third party site, rather than directly from AB's servers and the Ed is waiting for the owners of that site to fix the problem.
However, as Alavahalf indicates, installing the extension that he refers to will get rid of 'cookie' notices on nearly every website that you visit. It definitely makes things a lot easier on AB!

Using the extension lets through certain cookies but, as long as you're using a decent web browser, you still won't get any tracking cookies. (Firefox, which I use, has 'enhanced tracking protection' enabled by default. Many/most other browsers routinely block tracking cookies nowadays too, I believe).
