Popup on iPad for newsletter every time

[MJCM]

Every time I visit AN on my iPad via Safari get this popup for the news letter.

 

Why show it every time?

I get this occasionally but it is only 3rd Party/cross site cookies which are disallowed in my browser.

 

Please explain what improvements a "user" will get from allowing 3rd party cookies.........apart from not seeing this annoying pop up?

 

And I am not using Safari.

None.

 

As a user you have to decide whether you accept this third party cookie so you don't see the newsletter signup screen again, or whether you continue to block all third party cookies and you do see the newsletter signup screen.

 

The choice is not necessarily binary though. Some browsers such as Chrome can whitelist a domain to always accept cookies.

 

In this scenario you could block all third party cookies except AN forum. If the newsletter signup screen is deprecated you can then remove AN forum from your whitelist.

My question was actually a little tongue in cheek but I appreciate the clear and open reply
