For the last hour every time I click on anything on the site, up pops a privacy pop up, I’ve accepted cookies a dozen times and looked at the other options but I’m still getting the pop up from Gransnet saying ‘your privacy is important to us’ how do I stop it please? ?

Anyone else getting it?

Thanks, Zoe. Still happening for me, on my mobile.

It’s stopped on Chrome for me so something’s changed and it’s nothing I’ve done.

Still happening on my iPhone using Safari.

It seems worse than ever today and is just popping up every time I touch the screen on either iPad of phone.

Seems to have stopped on my iPad!

It is now on one of my iPads but not the other one.

GranEd Wed 02-Oct-19 10:45:16

Still as bad as ever on my iPad.

Anniebach Wed 02-Oct-19 10:46:28

Are we stuck with it ?

It started happening on iPad using Chrome a few days ago. Not on laptop. Very annoying. I tried shutting down completely and restarting, but no change. Every time I click on a post, or go to next page it pops up.

Well I’ve had 2 days free of it but now it’s back with a vengeance ?

Anniebach Wed 02-Oct-19 15:10:59

First time for me, so annoying

I have to log in every time despite clicking the keep me logged in button and the annoying privacy pop up is driving me mad. It only happens on my iPad with Safari. Any chance of getting it sorted?
No problems at all with my phone.

AAAGGGHHH! It had stopped and was OK for a couple of days, but now it's just started all over again. Every page. Every post. Every damn click. (Safari on an iMac)

Well I have to say I am reaching the point of giving up . This is absolute crap . I am getting a ridiculous privacy pop up every time I open, click on, read or leave anything. Just counted 17 pop ups in less than 3 minutes ! How stupid is that ?

gillybob Thu 03-Oct-19 22:21:42

And another 3 trying to post this ! For goodness sake get a grip !

gillybob Thu 03-Oct-19 22:24:46

and guess what ? 5 more trying to get off this bloody thread ! This can’t be right surely ?

Anniebach Thu 03-Oct-19 22:25:08

I am so fed up with it

gillybob Thu 03-Oct-19 22:25:19

I accept, I accept , I accept.......... how many more times ?

gillybob Thu 03-Oct-19 22:26:35

I agree annie it’s rubbish . I can’t move from a thread, move down a thread, post or do anything at all without it popping up 3,4,5 times ?

Lisagran Fri 04-Oct-19 07:39:27

Still happening GNHQ !!!!! Please do something!

Bathsheba Fri 04-Oct-19 08:45:16

I totally agree gillybob. If this isn't resolved soon I think GN is going to lose a lot of members.

Thankfully I don't have any problems if I use Google Chrome, so I'm sticking with that for the foreseeable, because Safari is a complete no no at the moment.

NanaandGrampy Fri 04-Oct-19 10:01:02

It wasn’t happening to me but now it’s happening every time I turn a page on a thread, open a new thread or go to post !! I’m on my iPad currently using Safari but I shall try it on Edge , Chrome and Firefox when I fire up the laptop.

It’s a darn nuisance GN H Q .

Alima Fri 04-Oct-19 17:41:05

Has any headway been made on sorting this problem? As well as that blessed privacy pop up, the whole site seems very sluggish now. At this tome on a Friday are there going to be any techies around to fix the problem? If not, probably not worth trying to access the site till the gremlins have gone.

Alima Fri 04-Oct-19 20:17:33

You aren’t going to fix it then?

ZoeGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 04-Oct-19 21:08:36

Hi everyone

We're still looking into this and will get an update on Monday. However, the issues with the site being sluggish seem to have been fixed. It's working fine for HQ now after a slower afternoon.

Best wishes
