Cookie policy wont dissappear

So I reset my pc the other day after a windows update crippled my fps in games. anyway after reinstalling and reconnecting to all my files. I've found the official forum website (this one) has a bug and that for one reason or another I cannot get rid of the cookie policy no matter where I click or what I do.

I've clicked on the X more times than I can count. clicked on all the blue links in the cookie policy and clicked approve where needed. but this dam box will not go away

how do I get rid of the dam thing. has never been a problem before.

Have you tried a different web browser?
It's the quick and dirty fix that involves no troubleshooting.

I had this the other week and had to whitelist the site in DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials to make it go away. Check if you have some similar sort of programme, or if you need to add it to your AV as an exception.

Same here. Only way can get it to go away is if use Google Chrome for my browser. I should not even get it when have cookies turned on. Think must be Internet Explore bug.
