i keep getting the privacy policy popup, no matter how many times i click Accept, it keeps coming up, even on multiple pages.
 
Are either of you still receiving the notice? I've changed some options so you should be able to permanently dismiss it now.

Just received one again today on my phone (Chrome 67 on Android).

EDIT:
And again...

As a full-stack dev this annoys me quite a bit. It's extremely trivial thing to do to get something like this to work properly.

Can you provide a screenshot of the notice you're seeing? We had one for the forums, but I disabled it yesterday morning to test it. By your edit, I'm thinking it might be a different notice from the one I've been accessing.

Got it today again on my phone (Chrome, Android) and on desktop (Firefox).

I keep seeing this as well. Just clicked "Accept" for the millionth time. As a web developer myself, I can't really understand how you've let something like this slip through testing. And it's been like this for weeks now...
 
Can you please tell me from where are you browsing ? if you're in the US you should actually not see it at all.

I'm in Finland. It asks it again after every new session. What is the cookie or local storage key that you are saving? After going through it all I can't see anything that would be clearly related to it.

I'm in Sweden.

It's incredibly easy to reproduce:

1. Go to the forums and make sure you've clicked "Accept" in the banner. It will hide.
2. Restart your browser
3. Go to the forums. The banner is back.

As Tup3x mentions above, for every new session you will get to see the banner again. Are you storing the acceptance status in the session or are you using a session cookie to store it? Neither will work, of course.
 
It turns out the problem was occurring across multiple Purch sites. So thank you guys for reporting the issue.

The problem should now be fixed. If it's still occurring, please let us know.
