Yea, it's been popping up every couple of days for me. Honestly if I didn't suspect that fandom will eventually switch all the settings to the options that are more favorable to them if you don't confirm your choices I would have just used ublock to permanently block that popup by now.

I know that I have had Do Not Sell My Personal Information in the past.
Aint that only for one state? Could it be IP-based?

This morning there was about a 30-minute period where I got a cookie pop up every time I refresh the page. I kept rejecting all, but it kept asking. Fandom needs to learn that no means no.

Mine just looks like this and the cookie settings link only does anything if I have adblock turned off. I've never gotten any cookie popups either though

It's not a url, it brings up some sort of popup, except adblock seems to kill whatever javascript makes it function so it just does nothing
