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.

    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
