I think maybe you need to take it to a better computer shop, it appears on closer examination that although Malwarebytes make a version for Mac there doesn't seem to be one for iOS.

That's correct!

The websites you encounter this problem will all have affiliation with oracle bluekai. When one of these websites is accessed behind the scenes it will request the cookie from the blukai URL but your browser (Safari) doesn't know this URL is trusted because it isn't receiving an updated list of trusted sites anymore - presumably due to it being an out of date version, upgrading iOS will almost certainly solve this.

Thanks Lorian and R34GTT that link to Oracle and subsequent posts gave me the confidence to 'Continue anyway' with the safari pop up and as I now trust (technically anyways), Bluekai no more prompts and its back to normal useage!

Quite illuminating clicking on the Loyds link and scrolling down to Oracle and clicking on its cookie options, not just for me but for any Lloyds group customer as the default is ADVERTISING in a list of three options that are confusing because you can't turn it off you have to choose, if you want, the first listed option that allows cookies for normal (Lloyds?) use that reduces the number of things you opt in for on the right hand list, then select choose and its set. That's if you don't want oracle harvesting your details for Lloyds and I don't!

Then going back to Halifax login again the pop up came up but this time I bit the bullet and clicked Continue Anyway and its now a trusted site so no more Safari prompts and back to normal use.

I hope:T

Interesting also that you can opt out of all the direct marketing etc of Oracle Corp by typing in your name address phone number leg measurements ( trousers sir). Yeah right I'm definitely doing that. To some extent I should be shielded b my Privacy settings with Lloyds.

One thing its demonstrated more fully than ever is with the free Internet we really are the 'Product':cool:

Thanks for all others suggestions too and hope this thread may help any other Internet laggards in the future who end up with this difficulty.

P.S. I just checked Gumtree and eBay and no pop ups there either now.

Since recently activating NoScript again it has blocked XSS (cross site scripts) on LLoyds and Nationwide internet banking. Relevant to his thread is one of Lloyds to stags bluekai : Unfortunately I cannot Post the full blocked script due to site restriction So far Nationwide have not been very forthcoming

You can block the specific website by restricting the browser. I had a similar problem reading a sport newspaper online which always triggered a redirect to this other ads website. I entered said website in the blocked list and nothing happened since.
