  The Privacy & Cookies notice appears on every page on the site which annoys users.
  How can I switch that off please or limit to the home page / make appear only once per visit?

  The site I need help with is adhocartgallery.wordpress.com.

  Hm, that shouldn’t be happening after a site visitor clicks the notice’s “Accept” button. Is this happening for all your site visitors, yourself, specific visitors? Do you know what browsers are being used?

  Having just visited your site, the notice disappeared for me after I clicked “Accept”.

  Take a look at this support guide https://wordpress.com/support/cookie-widget/ which also explains the settings for this widget. Please post back here if you have other questions on this topic. Thanks.

  “ , the notice disappeared for me after I clicked “Accept”.”

  But the same notice keeps reappearing on each page of the site..we did not used to get that notice…

  Is the notice of free version supposed to appear on each page of the site.

  No, it should disappear after the “Accept” button is clicked and not reappear again for the duration of the visit.

  I’ve gone ahead and flagged your thread for Staff attention as well.

  When the banner is accepted, a cookie is saved so it no longer appears.

  No. Cookies are not blocked.
  I tried on different devices but the same notice keeps reappearing on each page of the site.

  I have latest version of Safari.. I use an iPad.
  Still having same problem and others are reporting same issue.

  When I look to edit some pages i get the error
  Paragraph “Problem displaying block”

  Not sure if that is related to original issue

  Can you let us know a few pages where you are having this issue so we can take a closer look on our end? The problem occurs only on specific pages (and not every page) that you try to edit, yes?

  Thanks for the additional info!
