How do you stop the "Google Privacy Reminder" message from constantly appearing?

There are few solutions that comes to mind:

  • Sign in.

    This should probably stop the reminder from appearing.

  • Use Google.com instead of Google.co.uk

    It seems that Google.com doesn't show the reminder, but Google.co.uk does. You may have to click "Use Google.com" link after visiting google.com, otherwise they will redirect you automatically. (note that this may not work if you're actually in UK)

  • Use AdBlock

    AdBlock can block elements by CSS selectors. The reminder has CSS class _vGg, so adding this rule to AdBlock should hide it:

    ##._vGg
    

    (they may change the class at any point and the rule will stop working)

  • Use Stylish or userscripts

    Similar class-based approach would work with other methods of altering websites. With userscripts you could even use some heuristics to make it survive CSS class change, but it's a bit more advanced and I won't go into details.


If this promo is annoying to you and appears repeatedly, make sure your browser is not set up to automatically and regularly clear cookies. If it is and you'd rather keep it that way, you'll need to use any of the workarounds posted by gronostaj.


This is most likely a problem with either:

  • Your Google User is not signed-in
  • Your Browser is set to clear your cache and cookies on exit or restart of your program or computer

To remedy cache and cookies issue:

  1. visit the options menu (Button with 3 horizontal lines on it) located on the top right of the default Firefox installation template
  2. click on the Privacy tab on the right side
  3. Under the History header, and be sure to choose "Remember History"
  4. Restart program to test the remedy

If that doesn't work, check to see if you have an Addon in your browser that is causing this issue. Addons are in the same "Options" area you were in when you edited the Privacy tab.

If neither solution works, try checking to see if there is an outside source, (*third party programs like CClearner and Advance System Care) that will clear the cache and cookies upon your exit from your browser. Be sure to check their capabilities before checking on any other possible issues.
