John Mitchell Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Beginning recently, an annoying box asking me to accept cookies keeps appearing as I navigate the Alamy website. The box continues to pop up even if I click "Accept". Anyone else noticing this? If so, is it possible to banish the box forever? 🍪🍪🍪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Maybe this add-on or plug-in or browser extension for your browser can fix it? I don't care about cookies 3.5.0. It fixes almost all of the cookie stuff on mine. Almost, because there are one or two that have found a way to keep popping up. I also use uBlock Origin. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wondering why the new cookie box suddenly started showing up, though.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I am feeling left out 😃, I am not getting the cookie monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radim Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It only shows up on pages when I search for images. It does not appear on the main page. I keep clicking Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept ......... and still nothing I installed the plug-in model on Whiskerke's advice and nothing has changed either. I'll probably just click for the rest of my life Grrrrrr😕😵💫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radim Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I use Chrome, I suspect that the cookies appeared after updating the browser 🫡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stirling Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I have changed my “host” file with a long list of host names that now go to 127.0.0.1 localhost so simply don't appear at all. This stops at least many pop-ups but stops most of the ads and tracking links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Photo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This has been doing my head in too using Chrome! cookies are always popping up wherever I browse on the main Alamy site! Now after reading the above comments on browsers, Iv'e just done a quick test and see that Chrome appears to be the main culprit for me here, testing it out on Firefox seems to be behaving normally on my Mac.

To be fair, I generally use both Chrome and Firefox as some websites seem to either favour one or the other, so i'll just use which ever one works best and found that both those browsers have been fine for me, and i guess depending on what system a person uses determines which browser is best for them.
