Stop the annoying "Get our free Weekly tips email" 16 January at 4:34PM in Site feedback 10 replies 247 views

The site is becoming very annoying with this popup. Despite setting a popup blocker it still appears every time I access a page in moneysavingexpert.com, click the x to defeat it and it just reappears as soon as you move page. Despite logging in it still appears. Surely there has to be a way for the system to know that you are already a subscriber and not popup?

I concur - most annoying

Install an ad blocker extension on your browser or find the 'disable pop ups' option - either should get rid. (I've never seen this pop-up in years of using the site).

Hi @Shugg_McGlummfer

There are, indeed, many places on our main site that suggest you subscribe to the weekly email.
But the banners, like the one below, should remember your choice - dependent on your browser setup.

If, when you first visited MoneySavingExpert, you rejected "Functional Cookies" in our Cookie Consent popup, this would mean that you've denied us permission to remember that you dismissed the banner. 

You can check if this is the case - and change your cookie settings on our Cookie Policy Page (Click on How can I control or delete these cookies?).

Don't really think that page is much help, sorry!

HI @J_B

With the popup on that page set to allow "Functional Cookies", I never see the yellow banner. 
It's possible that browsers or extensions may be set up to restrict cookies in a way that blocks that cookie from working as it should

But ... I don't see a pop up 🤷‍♂️

You have to click the link under "How can I control or delete these cookies?". This should show you the popup

Thanks, perfect instructions but sadly, it doesn't produce a pop up in Firefox with uBlock Origin

I'm amused that your pop up won't appear, but the annoying one, which is subject of this whole thread keeps .... popping up!!!

@MSE_Stephen

Any ideas how I can make this popup pop up?

I've turned off  uBlock but no difference

Hi @J_B

I tried a few things but haven't been able to reproduce.

I can use the popup with Firefox even with its Enhanced Protection set to Strict.
