Cookie notice does not go away (again)
- [ WordPress has apparently fixed identical bug(s) in the past. Looks like it needs fixing again. ]Until yesterday, the cookie notice that WordPress automatically places on free sites would show up as a pop-up at the foot of the page, and clicking on the “accept and close” button worked PROPERLY. Clicking the button would cause the notice to close. The cookie notice now shows up somehow embedded like a footer at the bottom of the site page (not as a pop-up overlaying the bottom of the window), and it includes far too much empty margin space around it This means it creates substantial dead space at the bottom of the page. Looks UGLY.(2) The bigger problem is that when you click on the “Accept and Close” button, the cookie notice does NOT DISAPPEAR. The notice remains at the bottom of every page of the site. Repeated clicking of the button does nothing.Solutions I’ve tried:
– I tried removing my custom background picture (one of the only things I can customize). Didn’t fix it.
– Looked for any cookie notice settings in the WordPress settings panels. I don’t see any settings relating to the cookie notice.What this means:
Something seems to have recently changed either with (a) the cookie notice widget software, or (b) the underlying WordPress software itself. This is a free WordPress site, so I have no control over the widget.My question:
What can be done about this problem? Thank you for any ideas or suggestions!

Hello there, Not a mod, but when visiting your above WordPress.com website using Firefox’s latest version on a Win10 PC, I can see and dismiss the C&C banner by clicking on the Close button. The banner does not reappear for me on any other page of your site once closed. I could only test this once as your site recognizes my IP and doesn’t display the C&C banner again when I visit (even logged out).
(Also, since ads are displayed automatically to site visitors on a free website, it’s possible you might not have access to the C&C banner in your Widgets dashboard.)
Have you tried the suggestions in our browser troubleshooting FAQ to see if this behavior disappears? https://wordpress.com/support/browser-issues/
If after following those FAQ suggestions the behavior persists, please take a screenshot of what you are seeing and let us know what device, browser and versions you’re using. Thanks.
