Anybody else getting a pop up to accept cookies on this site but which is unclickable so you can't get any further.
Seems to be on MS Edge. Chrome is fine.

Edit: Pop up now gone but site is still slow on Edge here. Chrome still fine.

    As per the title, when I had the issue, the button was unclickable.

    Thanks all - we have sometimes seen this problem too, but have not yet been able to pin down the combination of browser and other conditions that makes it happen.

    It seems to me that if your cursor/mouse pointer passes over either of the other two links in the pop-up box ("Cookie Policy","Manage Settings") and you click on "accept", then the pop-up does not disappear, but you can refresh the page without it reappearing.
    If you navigate to the "accept" button without passing over the other links, then it will disappear when you click.

    Using W10 with Chrome and Edge, and Chrome O/S with Chrome (although I don't think it matters)

    Our techies have done some work on this - please let us know if you see this problem again, but we hope we've eliminated it now.

    Massive thanks to @One-Eye who really helped us to pin down the issue.
