ERROR REJECTING COOKIES: Error: No element found for selector: [aria-label="Reject all"]

Hi,

In production, I seem to be getting the below all the time, when calling the API.
All the news gets returned as expected. No issues.

Do I need to worry about the below, or perhaps I should just ignore it?

@mashegoindustries thanks for flagging, this was some console output added during testing and shouldn't affect results. If you're getting the expected JSON data afterwards then this message doesn't matter.

For context, Google added a new interstitial cookie page which sometimes shows and sometimes doesn't, so there's a try/catch block that looks for the "Reject cookies" button and clicks it if it exists. This console logging simply means the interstitial page wasn't shown, so the "Reject cookies" button wasn't found in the DOM.

I'll remove the console logging in the next release, as it was only ever intended for debug.

Awesome. Makes sense now ;)
