Thanks, I whitelisted a bunch of red cookies, and some more databases, even though none of the domains seemed relevant, but somewhere along the line, it seemed to work. Thanks for your help!
@edjusted if you expand the Google website, then look for any red colored cookies. In particular, Im sure the nid cookie is the one you want to whitelist
then right click (control-click) to show the contextual menu
select Add to Whitelist
