Why?
How do I get rid?
Is it a Russian bot?
Is someone trying to influence my election?

Very annoying it is.

cookies agreement? yeah, had to turn ad blocker on (sorry Bozza), because the ad networks are switching around and always want to get confirmation. not just NSC its a pox upon the internet.

Not so much to do with ads, but more to do with general GDPR cookie consent. Adblock shouldn't get rid of it.

most the consent requests come from advertisers. if cookies are working properly, once accepted you shouldnt need to give consent again for months, thats the point of them. but the ad networks constantly request new consent.

I get it whenever I'm connected to a UK VPN. They obviously don't give a s**t about my privacy in Canada.

Not sure if it's tongue in cheek but it's an EU directive hence not technically required for users outside the EU.
