Every time I log onto NSC I get the “This site uses cookies” notice pop up. Despite choosing ACCEPT it continues to pop up each time I select a thread - every thread. Very annoying! Can any of you good people tell me how to stop this continual intrusion?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Someone else raised this the other day - https://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?375474-Cookies
As I posted there, this shouldn't happen if your browser is set up to allow cookies (as a cookie should be set to say "I've asked this before, so I don't need to again" but given a few people are raising it, it suggests something has changed somewhere. (I don't get it)
I'll ask the ad partner if they can take a look...

If this is happening to you, can you please post details of the device and browser you are using please...

Thanks Bozza, it’s really annoying. Only happens on my iPad. Both my iPhone and laptop are clear.

Only happens if I log in with phone or tablet but never on laptop.But, like the op said, it is every time on them.
Google chrome via Samsung tablet and phone.
Firefox has recently made some significant changes to the way it handles cookies and permissions and I am having a lot of pop-up requests. If you have the time and the interest, take a read through this before you decide if you want to be bothered with all this;

I don't suppose it directly impacts too many on here, but the principles are quite important and it is worth pointing out " I don't use Facebook" means naff all in terms of what they can and do know about you.
Firefox cookie policy information see below; Google are also looking at tracking cookie restrictions in Chrome.

I had this problem a couple of days ago (iPad Safari). Not having a clue how to fix it, I tried turning the “block all cookies” on and off, which seemed to have the temporary effect of making me have to log back on to NSC each time I tried to change page, which was even more annoying. So I just stopped using NSC on my iPad for a while. And the problem just went away....poof!....just like that!

Same thing happening to me on every page.
Chrome on MacBook, also safari on my iPhone SE.

Take a look at this link for a relatively simple explanation.
https://www.aboutcookies.org.uk/cookie-types
Session and persistent cookies make NSC more useable by remembering, what you have read and remembering who you have logged in as.
Third party cookies either help to pay the NSC bill, for which we should all be grateful, or take a free ride and help themselves to information, you may not want to share and or have commercially exploited.

Not sure if its the same issue, but not only do I have to accept cookies every time I go on to NSC (only on my iPhone, not my laptop), but it also doesn't remember my log in (and yes i tick save).
Any idea what is going on as its only started happening in last few weeks, but is very annoying?

Are you saying that Google are polishing the Chrome due to cookie issues?
I laughed so hard I shat myself.
Not.
