Cookie consent - an update

46 replies

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 31/08/2022 10:22

Hi everyone.

Just a quick heads-up let you know that we’re updating our cookie consent tool today, which means you’ll be asked to re-consent when you click on the site. This should all be pretty straightforward but if you experience any issues, please let us know on this thread.

Thanks all.

Hi, I’m on my iPad using Safari and every time I click on another page I get asked to consent to cookies.

Swimbler · 01/09/2022 18:47

Hi every time I click on new thread I have to re-consent.

Swimbler · 01/09/2022 18:48

Even after posting a post

BringItBackBruno · 01/09/2022 22:04

Yes me too.

YouOKHun · 02/09/2022 01:24

Yep me too. It happened before and someone from @mumsnet explained how to stop it. I wish I could find that post as it makes MN unuseable as it is.

StickywithSuncream · 02/09/2022 01:31

Oh no, MN isn’t going to become one of those maddening sites that keeps on asking you about cookies every single time you visit, is it? Can’t we just consent once?

Mybeautifulfriend22 · 02/09/2022 06:52

Same here it’s appearing every page I click on even multiple pages on each thread. EVERY PAGE! which makes the site pretty unusable. I’ll come back when you’ve fixed it. Very annoying.

I’ve consented and it’s still appearing on every page on every thread I click on or after I’ve posted too. Annoying

KatherineSiena · 02/09/2022 07:00

Likewise, I’ve consented and it’s popping up on every page/thread. Very irritating.

AlexandraJJ · 02/09/2022 07:25

Every page here too
