I am getting locked out of Mumsnet as it asks me to disable ad blockers, I haven't installed any and don't know what I can do. The instructions that come up to disable blockers don't work for me. Am using on an iPhone, safari. It was working fine this morning. In a few minutes it will block me completely again, so posting quickly!

Hello @Dayaftertraitors and @VoiceFromThePit sorry you’re seeing the ad-block pop-up again and again. This usually happens when a browser extension or privacy tool is preventing the page from saving your preference.

It’s worth checking whether you have any ad blockers installed, such as AdBlock, Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin, AdGuard or similar, or privacy tools like Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Disconnect, or built-in tracking protection. If you do, try disabling them temporarily and refreshing the page.

If you don’t use extensions, some antivirus software (for example Norton, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Sophos, Avast) also has ad/tracker blocking features that can cause the same issue. Turning those off briefly and reloading the site should help confirm whether that’s the cause.
