GB News. when I click on the articles I get the message.
Thanks for being specific. That is indeed different, as that site doesn’t seem to have user sign-ins.
That being said, the error message is a response from the site itself, to your phone’s request to fetch a webpage.
I used to be able to see the articles but now I can’t.
I can’t replicate your issue, and the site shows me each page I choose without server errors.
That’s why I’m wondering if I have touched something on my iPhone that’s caused it.
If it is not a problem with the website itself, then it might be targeted from your IP address or other identifiers, e.g. browser cookies. Possibly something stored about the website is conflicting. A reset of the browser may result in better behavior.

That is a message from the web server. It likely has nothing to do with your iPhone per se.
It may mean that your URL requires authentication that is not in place. Maybe you are not signed in to the site, or different privileges on the site account are needed.
I don’t understand your reply sorry, what do you mean when you say my URL requires authentication that isn’t in place? The website is GB News and it’s when I click on the articles I get the message. I used to be able to see the articles but now I can’t. That’s why I’m wondering if I have touched something on my iPhone that’s caused it. I’m not a technical person??
thanks Magz
That seems to have done the trick!! When I cleared the history and data it asked me to keep or close tabs. I closed them. Then I set it to block the cookies. I tried it and I could see all the articles. Then I went back and unblocked the cookies, tried it again and I can see them. Thank you so much for your help.

The problem is still happening Error 403 forbidden on GB news app can’t see the articles. I have blocked all cookies on my iPhone 8 Plus??
clearing history and data did work but now the problem is back??
At this time, I would advise to contact that site’s support, if you can open the Contact Us page there.
Would I be able to send you a screenshot of the messages I am getting to your email?
No, our hosts here want all forum communication to stay on the site itself.
I wouldn’t know what to do with a screenshot. I believe your description.
Yes I have tried in Duck duck go. Updated chrome and Firefox but the message still comes up. Would I be able to send you a screenshot of the messages I am getting to your email?
Thanks for all your help, I’ll try the site.
