One of the browsers are set up with forced session cookies and web storage, and also to block third parties. It breaks several features, also central login. I have reported it as an issue, but none has bothered to create a fix.
I believe it would be better to put the add on the lower part of the viewport, for all users, and for a limited time. Posting ads at random locations and disrupting (terrorizing) the readers is not a good idea.

If you're browsing in a private-window, this means the browser cannot remember (save in a cookie) that you clicked "close" or saw the banner already, hence you might be seeing more banners than most readers would.
Worth mentioning each time it comes up: This seems like an instance of where tracking interactions w/ a given {IP, day} or {hash of browser fingerprint+IP+daily salt} would vastly outweigh the challenges. We can support private browsing, or any kind of browsing, without creating a painful experience [which is also... not likely to result in a donation]. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
