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...

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...
