I keep getting this pop-up regarding privacy. Even though I select "Do Not Sell My Information"

It keeps coming up randomly.

Is this some type of scam? Anyone else getting this pop-up?

for people living in certain areas of the world that have laws about serving cookies.

But it seems to be glitching out and popping up randomly where it shouldn’t. A number of people have reported this recently. It’s not nefarious, just annoying, unfortunately.

I’m talking to DU’s ad provider about it, but if it doesn’t go away on its own, you may be able to get it to stop by clearing your browser’s cookies.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You guys run a tight ship, so just surprised to see it keep coming up.

Thanks for all you do,

if I scroll to the bottom of the window to "Save" my opt-out, that's the last I see of it until I sign in again.
