YouTube sign-in

Hi,

I enjoy watching videos on YouTube. Recently I’m being given the option to sign in to YouTube - or select the No thanks option. There follows another screen where I have to agree to YouTube/Google’s use of cookies before I can progress. When I saw this initially I assumed it would be a one off but it happens ‘every’ time I go to YouTube. Is there any way I can either not be presented with these screens or at least only have them shown once. I use Brave browser and have it configured to clear my browsing history on exit if that’s relevant.

Whilst browsing a few days ago I came across a couple of suggestions and thought I’d follow them up but of course I can’t remember where I saw them!

Any help greatly appreciated – oh and if this request should be considered inappropriate please remove…

Thank you!
