This errors happens around after Dec 3, 2016. Works fine before mentioned date.

Which EQ plugin? And the config file?

[WindyPrimnoia]

Latest modified EQ Alert. Default config file. Happened to unmodified one as well.

The problem doesn't occur anymore... Maybe its the API that has the problem and fixed itself.

Are you sure?, the cookie details show that the plugin trying to go to a GoDaddy domain, WHY?

please paste your cfg/EQ_Alert.config.yml file

[WindyPrimnoia]

Yeah I noticed that. The problem is solved now though. This is the normal cookie that should be received.

So, so, I am betting pso2.acf.me.uk was under renewing review (Explain why BASICDev was give issues for EQ notices as well), so, this issue is closed?

[WindyPrimnoia]

Closed, I guess.
