Any good reason for that

Yes, governments making idiotic laws!

See http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm

I have ignored the stupid law for a long time. But the google adsense ads requires it now, https://www.google.com/about/company/user-consent-policy.html

So an annoying European law has to bother the U.S. users too. That's just freakin' great!

You may want to double check that because I thought the law applies to the location of the server, which in this case is Sweden.

Great country by the way!



For sure I would not need any favorite VHS tapes on holiday in this location!

The server is located in Netherlands.

It looks like that I can block the warning for non european users, http://sitebeam.net/cookieconsent-v1/documentation/hide-from-visitors-outside-the-eu/ . But way too much work.

At the bottom of the link it says:

The option is now available in our configuration wizard

Of course you could always stop using cookies.

Users can block access to s3.amazonaws.com to get rid of that message (though that might lead to problems with other sites). Or use a javascript blocker and only allows js to run from sites you choose.

Can you try click on https://www.videohelp.com/js/cookieconsent.php ?

It should say

var cookieconsent = 'You are not from Europe.';

Your ip is in europe. But it should only appear once after you clicked got it.

[Dougster]

It's gone, thank you.

Only shows up when I use a VPN with a UK config (which is what I would expect to see).

Yes, the annoyance is gone now, thanks for the fix
