Apols we're going to need to ask you to consent to cookies again...

Very frustrated just cleared cookies to try to access a thread and had this again, made worse by the fact it hasn’t worked.

Can we have an update on this situation @JustineMumsnet please? It's still happening. When's it going to go away?

I have just posted on another thread and adding here also. I’ve just been asked again after only 5 days. This is really not reasonable. Please can we have an update on when this will be resolved. Thanks

Just been asked to do it AGAIN, getting really fed up now. Especially as you think you’ve turned them all off and then you go into vendor chores and there are literally hundreds there all with legitimate interest all turned on, even though I turned them off only a week ago.
Techy son in law thinks this is barely legal, if at all.

The really easy solution is to open mumsnet in a browser in "secret" mode. You can then accept the cookies for that session and then just close the window down. Then all cookies are automatically deleted.

It flashed up again on my phone yesterday but I was asked either to ‘Confirm your choices’ or ‘Accept All’. I didn’t even get the option of any page to deny permissions this time, but the only way to get it to go away was to ‘Confirm your choices’.

As I’d previously slogged through well over 100 clicks to deny ‘legitimate interests’ I had to assume that was the right one to click. I definitely didn’t click ‘Accept All’, but I still feel suspicious about what I was confirming.

@AuntieStella this is really getting ridiculous now.
This was happening to me every other week asking me to confirm my consent.
I was only asked last on the 29/12 yet surprise surprise its asked me for it once again again!

Ive accidentally clicked accept as I'm just so annoyed with it all, why is this happening?
Can you tell why this is so often? Do you really think twice in 4 days is right?
Every other week wasn’t acceptable but this?

So @JustineMumsnet what is MN doing about the fact that the site does not function at all if I don’t agree to all cookies (and plenty of other posters reporting the same thing)? Totally unethical.

Im doing this every other week. Its ridiculous

Yup .
Had to do it again too .

I just had to spend another chunk of time rejecting dozens of intrusive and unwanted cookies AGAIN.

We went through all this a year or so ago and were assured then that it would be fixed and we wouldn’t keep having to give/deny permissions. It did, in fairness, seem to be fixed but it’s creeping back, I’ve had several requests to re-do them in the last few weeks.

I personally can’t wait for the Reject All option but in the meantime I’m not at all happy that the frequency of the requests for cookie permissions is ramping up once more.

Adding another voice to the reject all button for cookies. I’m incredulous that this is part of mumsnet given even the most unscrupulous sites don’t seem to have the plethora of tracking cookies that mumsnet seems to invite. Does mumsnet get remunerated for it?

I got it to work by following @VioletPetals advice on another thread in site stuff 🙏🏼

Still can't get it on my phone .
The app works.

They track you across different devices too, which you can't opt out of

Thank you!

Yeah I get that. I usually just reject all which I think most sites do

I guess I think that ship has already sailed but wonder if I need to reconsider @Theremoresefulday

Some of the cookies are really intrusive and track loads on your device @Unmerited

This has been an education as I had no idea the strong opinions on cookies!

Yeah I just accepted all but I’m uneasy about that. I have limited mobility in fingers due to arthritis and it’s a literal pain at times and even usually it’s just hard to do coz my fingers don’t always cooperate (see my many autocorrect mistakes in my posts!) and I just couldn’t be arsed.

Any idea when the reject all button will be functional?

I can't get it to work on my phone now.
I can get in the app but not onto the "desktop " one now that I have clicked my choices.

Or why have you not added a reject all button?

Yes but why so often! This us happening for me every other week!
Im fed up of it now. Im avoiding coming on here as i can’t be bothered to keep going through this.

What annoys me, and seems disingenuous, is the accept/ reject buttons seem deliberately designed that you don’t know which way is which, unless you know about such things. I had to ask my techy son in law which way was accept and which was reject as I couldn’t tell. He thought it was a bit “tricksy” on your part. Designed that users get confused/ fed up and press the accept all button, I suspect.
