As of a few days ago I can't go anywhere on the site without the pop-up regarding privacy coming up. Open site. Privacy pop up. Go to PMs. Privacy pop up. Click on a PM. Privacy pop up. Go to downloads page. Privacy pop up. Open a download. Privacy pop up. It's driving me crazy having to answer it again, and again, and again. I tried allowing cookies so that it could remember my choice but still asks every time. What's up with that? Using firefox. |

It's the same for me (FF 82.0). Again, I might add, since I (and many others with me) had the exact same problem the last time MTS changed this. I thought this time it might be because I chose "reject all" (but why would you even have that option if one can't use it?? And yes, I do click "save & exit"), but I'm NOT going allow third-party cookies from every Tom, Dick and Harry on the web. I block them for a reason. ![]() |

I've tested with FF 82, and I *don't* get this issue.Â* Usually this means that there's other kinds of cookie blockers in place.Â* Just for reference I haven't changed anything specifically in the last few days, but due to GPDR and other rules, the ads popup will ask you if the list of ad providers changes.Â* I cannot replicate the popup occuring on every page however. If you are using an ad blocker / security app thingy, which one are you using?Â* I can check with the ads people to see if they have had any issues with whichever one it is. |

FF 61.0.2 (I know outdated, I'm a curmudgeon I hate updates they just change things for no reason and I have to learn layout all over again so as long as it works I'm sticking xD) + Adblock Plus. And like Nix also choosing reject all + save and exit. Though as I said, tried just the cookie part at the top of list as well thinking perhaps it wasn't able to store my preferences because I wasn't letting it store anything at all, but no change. Also @ adblocker, I'd love to allow ads on MTS to support it but got really shady stuff that was making my browser crash so I had to turn it back on to be able to use the site at all. EDIT: Did you fix something? All of a sudden not getting it anymore ![]() EDIT2: Refreshed page a bunch, went to different places. Not a single pop-up. Huzzah! I don't know what you did Tashi but thank you ![]() ![]() |

Good to know.Â* Also, when did you get the shady ads?Â* I've switched ad providers in the past month or so, and haven't seen any shady ones since then. ![]() |

@Tashiketh I use AdBlock Plus, but I have it turned off for MTS. Okay, this is interesting. When I'm logged in, I no longer get the popup (yay!) - but the second I log out, it's back (and I'm the kind of person who logs out when I leave a site, and also don't necessarily log back in unless I'm going to do something that requires it, e.g. leave a comment. So remaining logged in just to kill a popup isn't something I like to do. Also, I'd most likely log out by accident when I left anyway, because habit). |

Sorry for double posting, but I just wanted to let @Tashiketh know that this has now been fixed. Yesterday evening (CET), I was still getting the popup on every. single. page. I visited when not logged in. Today, it's suddenly gone - without me changing anything on my side, I might add. Glad it's finally been fixed, it was getting incredibly annoying. |

Interesting.Â* I didn't do anything my end, so I guess the ad provider fixed something.Â* Good to know! ![]() |
