Yes, see what happens as I had a cookie issue a while back on both and that fixed it for me with Neowin.

I will try it. Seems to me the developers should have been expiring them if changing how they work.

Let us know how you get on. 

 

I don't have a Windows device at hand, but I'll be checking my iPad over the next few days.

This is not how cookie consent works. If the code is updated or changed you have to give consent again and letting people know is the new consent prompt 😛 

 

I don't even know how it works outside of the EU and California, I selected the option to only apply it to opted in territories. It may also need to be updated in places like 'I don't care about cookies' type extensions.

So I checked >24 hours later and I didn't see a prompt.

 

Are you still seeing this issue?

 

Edit - also anything else you can tell us about the OS version, browser

 

I tried on Chrome and the latest iPad OS beta

I only got it twice in Chrome Version 84.0.4147.125 (Official Build) (64-bit) Win 10 Pro 2004. I haven't seen it again since last week.

I spent two days getting it right (with all the options I can set) and updated the code at least 3 times, so depending on when you visited, you may have been required to consent more than once, It has not changed since Thursday.

@adrynalyne any update?

I’ve now moved to seeing them every few days on my iPhone. Less annoying, but still annoying. I’ll take it. I think it’s probably now normalized to how it should work but I don’t see a reason why it needs to be more than once.
 

Unless I have some strange query string attached to one of the links in my browser history causing it? I don’t use bookmarks so I rely on browser history to auto-fill the site I want to go to, and where. Not sure why I didn’t consider that till now.

What about the clearing of cookies? that is what we are waiting for.

Cleared them on my phone. That was the result. I’m not going to clear them on my PC because it’s disruptive to my work. Which is fine; I usually only visit on my phone.

Glad it's improved I only meant clear the Neowin cookie not everyone.

I wonder if it is a Safari bug?

Constantly getting the pop up on Firefox. Get it every time I close browser and return here. I have cleared Neowin cookie too. Get in on Firefox in Windows and Linux. Guess I might as well add I get it on Waterfox also. Don't get it on Edge Chromium.

I wonder if it’s an issue with the JavaScript popping it up.

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
