How do I turn off Google Sign-In Prompts When Using Safari? I get this this "Sign in with Google" pop-up on my laptop, desktop, iPad, and iPhone when I land on sites on the web. Not every site, but enough to be very annoying. (I've attached screen shot.) One friend suggested emailing the webmaster of any site where Google popped up, which I tried with a few but did not get any responses. I solution was proposed in the Community here in a post from 3-21-23: "To turn off sign in prompts in your Google account, go to your Google Account security page and sign in to your account. Once you're signed in, on the Security page under the "Signing in to Other Sites" section turn off the "Google Account sign-in prompts" option." My Google account does not have the section on the Security page "Signing in to Other Sites". I searched with phrase and found nothing. I also did not see anything that led to "Google Account sign-in prompts". Did Google rename them, move them somewhere else or delete them altogether? I have done what I can on Safari to block pop ups, but the Google pop ups pop up anyway. Note: I added gmail to my Mac mail account years ago. These pop-ups seemed to start in the last 12 months? Any new suggestions? Thanks. M2 desktop Sonoma M1 Macbook Sonoma iPhone 14 16.61 iPad Pro 16.61

Determining the reason for inexplicable behaviour is usually an exercise in futility. When things like that happen, restart your Mac.

I tried clearing the history but it didn’t correct the problem. The notice I receive from safari says: “This connection is not private…the website may be impersonating www.google.com…to steal information”

How do I remove cookies?

thanks
