Side Note: This should probably be moved over to AskDifferent, but I don't know how to do that.
The cookie information dialog popping up is very annoying. If it were not, I would not continue to spend time trying to resolve it. There are two cases we know of right now:
- (sporadic) @tripleee gets the same thing in Firefox on iOS but not in Chrome.
- (100% of the time) I am seeing the problem on Chrome on macOS using two different users, which looks like two separate instances of Chrome running at one time, depending on what Google did to implement the data sharing between separate user windows (two users cannot share a single window or even tabs).

It appears I may be quite unique in experiencing this since I have not been on Stack Exchange since before they went to the SSO (Single Sign On) mechanism. Please don't vote down my question because you do not understand the situation.
There is a HUGE amount of information that might be needed to reproduce this. I am going to give what I think is the likely cause and hopefully someone out there will be able to track it down.
I believe the problem is caused by the fact that I am logged on as two different Google Profiles on Chrome.
I am logged into two Google Profiles.
I am running Chrome Version 114.0.5735.106 (Official Build) (arm64).
I am running Chrome on macOS 13.4 (22F66).
This appears to be an interaction between OpenID and Chrome, resulting from the use of two different Google Profiles.
I am perfectly happy just not logging onto two Google Account IDs at one time. However, I do not know how I am going to get my system back to the place where I can use Stack Overflow's sites without having the darn pop-up pop-up.
