Linkedin always displaying the cookie notice

hi guys,

this is really bizarre, no matter what browser i am on, every time i load linkedin i get the annoying cookie notice, i just tested on my wife's computer and there seems fine on Edge, so something on my machine.

I have reported the problem to MS support on twitter as well as on linkedin's but at this point I don't understand where the problem lies, just scanned for malware or ad aware stuff, but everything seems normal.

we tried to block/unblock cookies but nothing changed. clearing MS edge or running cleaner once then same problem occurs.

any ideas? it seems as though my machine doesn't like linkedin's cookie notice - globally. it seems it started since we moved from Germany, now in the UK.

thanks,
Gabrio

Ok this is really interesting and quite a challenge to solve....just recently we have been to Germany right, and i dont remember this cookie notice being a problem, so out of curiosity i connected now via a VPN to a German IP address and guess what? the cookie notice doesn't show up!


however if i switch to Amsterdam, i will get a longer cookie notice that doesn't go away, if i connect to Italy i get the same one as in the UK which then again doesn't go away.


Fully consistent behaviour across the 3 browsers as well.
the plot thickens.....

strange though, when i connect over German VPN i don't get it.

and even stranger, same connection here in UK, but on my wife's computer, comes up once, you click X and then no more, as it should.

I have started getting the same cookie warning every time I open LinkedIn, and again when I move between areas of the product. None of my colleagues in the same UK building experience this.

I cleared all cookies and it's been happening ever since. I'm using Chrome.

This doesn't happen with Edge, but I don't want to use that.

So it must be something to do with Chrome cookie handling. Shouldn't my acceptance be stored in a cookie, so that the message doesn't get shown again?

I get this problem one one laptop but not another. Both using Chrome to access my same LinkedIn account.

Anybody found a way to prevent the cookie warning appearing every time with some configurations?

I am sure this in nothing to do with European cookie and privacy laws. I can sit at my desk in London with 2 laptops, both running Chrome, and one displays the privacy warning in LinkedIn every time and the other never does. On the offending laptop I can use Edge and don't see the warning.

So there must be a configuration setting somewhere that causes one Chrome browser to show the warning every time I log in or go to a new page. I really want to get this turned off, any ideas?
