for people living in certain areas of the world that have laws about serving cookies.

But it seems to be glitching out and popping up randomly where it shouldn’t. A number of people have reported this recently. It’s not nefarious, just annoying, unfortunately.

I’m talking to DU’s ad provider about it, but if it doesn’t go away on its own, you may be able to get it to stop by clearing your browser’s cookies.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
