Online advertising and pop-ups
I clicked the "Don't show me again" and/or "Show me later" buttons on the pop-ups, but they won't go away. Why?

Why are there pop-ups on Chatelaine.com?
Quite simply, in order to deliver content to our online users, Chatelaine.com requires revenue. The two main ways we derive this revenue are through the sale of online subscriptions and through advertising. Pop-ups, vokens, badges, banners and other ad formats are necessary because they ensure that we are able to fund our Web site and continue providing quality articles, news and tips to our valued readers.
For most pop-up campaigns, we limit the number of times users see each pop-up, normally to one time per visit. (This is also known as frequency capping.) We also give users the opportunity to control when and how many times they see a certain pop-up. Every pop-up on our site is equipped with a "Show me later" link which will display the pop-up on this same page during another visit, but not during the next visit. There is also a "Don't show me again" link which will not display on the same page again. Keep in mind that for the frequency capping and "Show me later" and "Don't show me again" options to work, you must have your cookies turned on.
Occasionally, you may see pop-ups as you surf from section to section on the site, even after you've clicked the "Don't show me again" link. This happens because cookies are not saved or referenced across subdomains. If this happens, you may have to click these options a few times in order for it to work.
