On one device I get it every single time I change the page. I also get the videos starting without me clicking on them.

Hi there @brizzlemint,

Could you please drop us a line about your password reset at [email protected]?

brizzlemint · 21/03/2019 09:36

I got it several times (every time last night) and a few times this morning but not since.
I'm also not getting the email to reset my password - I've tried a few times.

I am using internet explorer on my iPhone and I get this too intermittently.

Hi there all,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We don't expect those of you using Firefox to use a different browser all the time, it was just to confirm whether or not the cause of the issue in this instance was the known issue with Firefox. Could those of you using Firefox try following the instructions here

If anyone's using PrivacyBadger add on, if you could also try following @CruelAndUnusualParenting's instructions to slide the Quantcast related sliders to green, and see if that fixes the problem.

There are some known issues with Firefox, so those of you using Firefox, could you please try a different browser?

Do you mean permenantly? I use firefox because I prefer it, I'm not going to get another browser just for one website, if the messages continue I'm more likely to stop using MN.

CruelAndUnusualParenting · 18/03/2019 12:50

For me at least, this seems to be caused by the "Privacy Badger" addon. I adjusted the sliders green for various Quantcast related addresses and I can now browse Mumsnet without excessive popups.

Why do we need to get rid of adblocker to use MN?
Repeatedly asking the same privacy questions and defaulting to options that we've already rejected is not a way to keep users. No other website/forum seems to have these problems. It's starting to look like a deliberate policy to wear MNers down so they'll agree to all your tracking demands.

Hi there all,

For those you using Chrome, can we confirm you've attempted getting rid of the adblocker? If so, do let us know and we'll look further into it.

Seemed to go quiet here then it's started again over the last couple of days.

brizzlemint · 15/03/2019 03:20

Still happening here on a daily basis, laptop with chrome.

CruelAndUnusualParenting · 14/03/2019 21:21

I'm not bothering with Mumsnet because the cookie messages are too much hassle. I came back to see if it's fixed and it hasn't improved.

SurgeHopper · 03/03/2019 00:40

This happened to me loads a few weeks ago, but all quiet on the western front atm....

LoniceraJaponica · 03/03/2019 00:31

This happened to me earlier today. Firefox on my laptop.

lovely123 · 03/03/2019 00:22

Hi
I’ve been asked over 10 times today, any updates please?

bookbook · 02/03/2019 23:17

glad its not just me Brizzle - still at least a couple of times a day here

BrizzleMint · 02/03/2019 06:41

@mnhq this is still happening several times a day, what are you doing about it ?

marmitedoughnut · 02/03/2019 05:54

Yes, Windows with Chrome.

bookbook · 28/02/2019 21:03

Hi there all,

Can we just check, are you still being asked to repeatedly confirm privacy settings today? If so, could you please let us know what device and browser you're using?

Well if nothing else, I've finally sat down and spent a happy afternoon learning how to setup my own DNS using a raspberry pi, and "pihole" Grin. With an added advantage that all my DNS queries are safe from the prying eyes of my ISP, as I've implemented DNS over HTTPS - thank you Cloudflare.

I'll see if killing off some of the domains being pulled in by MN pages has any effect.

Yeah, well it's not going to work Grin
