Anyone else suddenly getting lots of requests from Google/Youtube to accept Cookies?

The last few days Google/Youtube have suddenly started spamming a big window to accept their cookies , anyone else getting lots of requests?

Seems to have stopped . maybe it was a glitch with Ublock Origin?

I don't use Ublock Origin and the same thing happened to me, so it wasn't a glitch with Ublock Origin. It was something new at Google's end. You were also required to give gstatic permission to run scripts. If you didn't, you couldn't click on the accept cookies button on the popup. I hope they don't turn it back on again. It was irritating.

Thanks for confirming that , lets hope they are not testing new settings on some of their servers as it was very annoying.

Seems to be very intermittent?

This is just plainly weird...

google.co.uk doesn't ask to accept cookies yet google.com does , Youtube.com automatically swaps you over to GB (as country of origin yet) sometimes it asks and other times it doesn't?

I'm seeing lots of complaints about this on places like reddit and apparently it's to do with them being more aggressively GDPR compliant and add-ons like ublock refuse to block it as standard.

Why is this solution not already included in the filterlists?

Because we don't fix GDPR issues.

Well i just tried it and i didn't have much luck , it sort of half worked.

Google had a white box where it normally asks for consent that eventually closed after a couple of seconds and youtube still asked to login.

Well Ublock Origin annoyance setting seems to no longer do anything as of the last week i've started getting " accept our cookies " to use this site all over the place.

The size of the Googles accept cookies banner is getting ridiculous.

I'm getting full pages now, not just banners. That's a new thing in the last couple of days.

Yeah , on my old laptop the accept buttons are almost off the screen.
