Not fixed for me - I set Preferences to "accept all cookies" and "agree" every time it pops up but still it comes back with every click - it's clearly a Pistonheads fault - I don't have the problem on any other site. Unusable now.

Brave has done it for me too - thanks for the heads-up.

Hello, I moved to Brave because there are very few ads and there is a lot on the previous one and that's why I moved

I've had this issue for a week or so now. Suddenly started despite no updates or new browser installs. I have to agree to accept cookies or whatever on every single click.

Using Chrome on a Mac.

Tried clearing all website data to no avail. Any tips on what to try next?
It's still going on. Literally every page change produces a pop up which requires me to Accept Cookies again.
Is it a Mac issue? Chrome issue? Why the dickens is it still going on?

Surely the web wranglers know what is causing this and could at least suggest whether it is a coding or browser issue?

Nothing has changed on my PC, still using chrome/Win10. It does not matter which options I click/agree/disagree/uncheck etc. This comes up on every single new or refreshed window. It builds from mildly irritating to 'I can't be bothered' hehe

Since i've dumped windows (now use a Chromebook) it only happens after I delete my browser history.

Incredibly, despite this bullst happening to me for over a year! to the point I don’t notice it because it’s become an unconscious action to do extra tapping, today it’s stopped doing it. I’ve changed nothing recently, though the issue persevered through an iOS upgrade from 14 to 15, and chrome up several releases, over the year.
Obviously it was never going to last. Fine until last night, posting at 10:30pm. Quick browse this morning and it’s gone to st again.

At least I can tell it’s been exactly a month, so is directly related to the ‘we have to ask every month’ requirement. Of course, this also means it’s going to be at least a month that I’m going to want to throw PH in the bin.

All I can say is "I'm glad it's not just me then..."

It's been like this for months now. All was well one day, then it asked me to confirm cookie preferences. Nothing changed by me in settings, etc. I thought it was either a) some "upgrade" applied during an update in Windows on my laptop, or b) the PH site being funny about working with my version of Windows due to an update/upgrade at their end.

Either way, though, it shouldn't happen. And it doesn't matter what choices I make, what boxes I tick. Everything from "fine, I'm cool with all the cookies you want to throw at me" to unchecking every possible option and saving that as a preference. And there was I thinking the reason they asked you to accept cookies was that it was meant to remember what you wanted to accept and stopped bothering you every time you opened a new page.

Bonkers, really.

If this is any indication of how well autonomous cars will work with one another then either a) we're all doomed, or b) Parliament will never pass legislation permitting their use. Imagine trying to snooze in a car on autopilot but being woken up at every traffic light because it needs you to tick a box asking you if you want to proceed when the light goes green, after having specifically instructed the car as to your required destination when you first switched it on... rolleyes

I've started clicking the "Disagree" button as a "F-you" to the site's coders not bothering to even acknowledge there is an issue, let alone try and fix it.

It's site specific, not browser specific (happens on Chrome and Safari, on two different Macs). Clearing website data and Cookies has, at best, a temporary effect, but at worst no effect at all.

Same. It's kinda ridiculous, something clearly changed which could just be rolled back. Only site that does this. I'm sure I and tons of others will engage less because of this rubbish

Are any MODs reviewing this feedback & forwarding it to the developer teams for resolution?

Thank you for the continued reports with this. I've raised with the tech team again to see if there's anything else we can do at this stage.
