Can't disable Safari pop-up blocker

This is not about the usual pop-up blocker. I use safari 8 and I have already unchecked Preferences - Security - Block pop-up windows.


However, when at a site with pop-up windows, I accidentally checked the box "Do not show more pop-up windows from this site". The check-box was in the pop-up window itself. And now I can't find any way to undo this. And I need to see the pop-up windows for the site to function.


Anyone who knows how I can fix my mistake?
