Why Am I Repeatedly Getting The "accept Cookies" Banner On This Site?

[diddlydo]

This has only started today and it's more than irritating

[Tyrion44]

I agree. Most annoying. I clicked accept yet again and it shut me out until I signed in again. As soon as I signed in I had to accept cookies again.

There are two other threads on this, one in Editor's Blog. There's response from AB Editor on there.

It's covered in a lot of detail in the Privacy thread this afternoon on Editor's Blog.
I think it's had one positive effect- the spam posts on supplements that wer ecoming in every 5 minutes seem to have stopped a sthe spammers are getting fed up too

I never thought I'd feel empathy for the Ab Editor.
But I do.

Place has been crawling with spammers in the last hour or 2 FF.

It's getting worse!

This is not about adverts though, Eddie.

Adverts plant their own cookies FF.
Agree to one, agree to all that follow.

[AB Editor]

As FF said, the problem with the banner repeatedly appearing is nothing to do with adverts.

I've just posted a response on the Editor's Blog thread chelle7272 linked to. In it are links to a couple of add-ons/extensions which should eliminate the need to accept cookies for most sites, including AB.
