My devices are sane again on MR
Just maybe they went with the old settings until it is really fixed, I didn't get a popup now either, that doesn't mean it's fixed.
Ya we are still working on it. It is off for now but give us a bit
Ya was happening before. Theoretically shouldn’t be happening as of 10 mins ago.
Is it still happening?
Still happening on phone and Mac here.
UPDATE.....not happened for last ten minutes ...since posting the above in fact!

Something odd and might be a "fix", I switched my Safari user agent to Safari iOS 11.0 in the developer menu, it loaded without the popup, next switched back to Safari for Mac and no popups.

When I surf to macrumors.com, there is just one huge gray overlay, with no action. The site is completely unusable.
Well, why make an effort writing good and informative articles when you can completely waste your time conforming with a stupid law that does not even apply to you and cripple you users' experience.

MacRumors just wanted to make everyone in the EU aware that they really... really... value your privacy
I do feel a forced overlay popup is a little overkill. Nearly every other site I've been on has gone with a simple text banner toward the top of the page.

Dear MacRumors, your take on GDRP is lacking, to say the least.
Firstly, you put this pop-up that seems like it can't save my options checked (because I get the pop-up each time I open the browser).
What's really wrong is the way UI is built is to confuse people, not giving a fair chance of choosing A or B. The first pop-up gives you a big ACCEPT button, and a small show purposes link. Click the link and you have another big button ENABLE ALL PURPOSES, but NOT a DISABLE ALL PURPOSES. Then you go to a small link to see full vendor list, and there is the only place where you have two buttons, and one is highlighted in blue like all others, while the option you don't us to chose (REJECT ALL) has the color of the background, to be less visible.
Fair play, MR, do you know what it means?

I just deleted the macrumors cookie, the popup should return IIRC, it doesn't, seems like it's turned off then amirite?!
I did the same thing and logged in with a French IP. If it's supposed to pop-up, it didn't.
Read my earlier post, it should popup when you delete the cookie, it doesn't so my guess it's off for now, i.e. not resolved yet.
