- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

The only way for the site to know to not show the pop-up again is ironically by saving that information in a cookie
Or you could block all cookies from all associated domains and use uBlock Origin element picker to hide the popup.
I'm tired of expecting service and site owners to be human beings, and have learned the tools needed to curate my own experience. Hell I used to browse with javascript off for years until every shitbag UI graduate decided to cram it into every single site regardless of applicability.
