But it seems to come back everyday. It feels like the,process is determined to sell my information..and waiting for me to make a mistake.

First error opt in. Then, forever more.

There’s a name for this in the industry, but it escapes me just now.

is now showing up at times, but I reach the bottom of pages often enough I should've seen it before yesterday if it had been there.

I’m not sure what to look for or where on my phone

simple text message I copied into my OP.

Is the green ‘verifying your browser’ crap
That one pisses me off since I don’t know who or what is ‘verifying my browser’ and why should they ?
In the past if I’m quick enough I can hit reload my page , and it stops it
but I have to be quick .


Thanks

I have no idea if it’s legitimate so I try to get out quickly if I can before it loads.

when I hit the back button and it only stays on the screen for a couple of seconds. Just started yesterday evening. Hope this gets fixed.

Thanks!

edited to add this is on my laptop. Haven't seen it on my android phone.

When replying to a thread.

When you close a browser window and maybe a tab it may clear your preferences. Generally stored in a cache.

I run into it quite often. Rarely on DU, but if it is your only and first stop, it’s likely to happen then.

it's far from my only stop, but I haven't run into this problem elsewhere. Or here until yesterday.

Based on where you are or where DU is served from.

For instance, CA has some pretty firm “Do not sell” laws and when I am using a feed from there boxes pop up everywhere. Europe, too.

Not long enough to screenshot, unfortunately.

Ty for the thread.

Do Not Sell, at the bottom of the pages. I click NoSell and still get it. The NoSell is different than in the past and for a few days I got both.

page and interfered with my response.

Since it keeps coming back, I finally searched for the terms on duck duck go and top result was this DU thread.

I’m a star member and get no ads. I couldn’t figure out why DU would be asking to sell information when so many are anonymous. I wondered who the partners are as there’s literally no information.

if it’s a DU thing I’d rather pay a little extra to get rid of it and not worry about it. if it’s not a DU thing I don’t know what to do. Could it be Safari? DuckDuckGo?

But I've asked them if it can be branded so that people understand that the message comes from DU, and the answer was it can't be done. The banner is supposed to go away after you interact with it once, but for some people it comes back multiple times. In addition, if you're on mobile, there's a little green icon that appears on the screen at all times, even for Star Members, and I've asked them if that can be removed, and they also said no. And yes, they are also responsible for the annoying "verifying browser" interrupt page, which they've also told me can't be changed. So I will likely be changing our ad provider later this year.

It has come up once a day in the last week or so, but it's too fast for me to even make a selection.

It seems deceptive.

Please note the last paragraph and that I cannot find "the following controls" so is my data being sold by Google? I know DU is not selling it.
Thank you for everything. After I click "Do not sell" the following appears:
