Annoying 'Future' pop-up

If you click on the 'Privacy settings' tab on lower right of screen on WIN10, one will get a pop-up message having the follow text:

I have just installed https://duckduckgo.com/ and https://www.ghacks.net/2018/05/07/privacy-possum-is-privacy-badger-on-steroids/ in an attempt to limit tracking and access to my private data.

What happens now is that 'FUTURE PUBLISHING's' Privacy Policy pops up at every new page topic that opens, bit of a nuisance really, I used to set the Privacy Policy to reject all and this did not cause the Privacy Policy to repeatedly show itself during a single site visit.

Any help folks?

Thanks.

It would appear that Privacy Possum is the program that initiates the Future Privacy Policy pop-ups.

Sorry cannot help, I set to reject all and just have the small Privacy Settings tab at the bottom of the page.
It does not open up unless I click on it.

The repeat pop ups are probably due to software that you've installed.
To protect my privacy I disabled all tracking cookies from the pop up when it first appeared.
Annoyingly the pop up re-appears whenever I log in, so I click on 'Show Purposes' below the Accept box, and from there I click on Save, which keeps the tracking disabled.

Thanks Parksy,

I can confirm that Privacy Possum would appear to be the programme responsible, strange that it does not cause similar effects on other 'Future' sites privacy policy(s).

Cheers,
John
