cookie consent: how to get rid of the banner

Post by shenle »

The new banner/tab that this board uses "cookie consent" is extremely annoying, and when I browse on my tablet/phone it uses a LOT of valuable screen space. I have not found a way to turn it off. If I can't disable it, using this board becomes a very frustrating experience as I try to read and click things that the banner and side tab are covering.

How to disable?!

Well it shows permanently on both my tablet and my phone (both Android) and takes up much of the screen. It doesn't matter if I enable or disable cookies, or what options I choose in the tab. I don't have any browser add-ons which would interfere with cookies either.

I have no idea.. it was something ww2 changed. If you are referring to the annoying thing on the right that says privacy settings.

There is no "save preferences"

I get either that or a banner at the top that covers 25% of the screen. No matter what options I select, it won't disappear.
