I'm pretty sure it only impacted those in the EU, as the pop-up in question only seemed to pop-up and hang if the device being used either was, or appeared to be, within the EU. Using a VPN to spoof one's location to somewhere outwith the EU solved the problem. From what I found out yesterday, the Trustarc pop-up is supposed to be a tool to allow websites to demonstrate compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulations, GDPR, when it works as it's supposed to. It looks as if something within the Trustarc add-on stopped working properly with some, but not all, web browsers, but this would probably only affect those of us in Europe.
