The privacy statement continually pops up whenever I open edge or a new tab. I have previously tried suggested fixes on the community forum but nothing has worked.
It's really annoying and I don't understand why MS has not sent out a fix update. I see that many others users have had the same rproblem.

Do you enable the settings that clear Edge data each time it closed?

Does the problem occur on all of your Edge profiles? You may create a new profile to see if the popup has gone.
Furthermore, you may try methods in this article: Fix Microsoft Edge “Privacy Statement” Pop-up on Windows 11 (Region & Language) | IT trip.
