What's up with the brief redirect when I post? Something flashes about our "partners"

Today when I made a post, after I hit post my thread, I was briefly redirected to another page, then back to this site. The page that flashes says:

"We and our partners share information on your use of this website to help improve your experience."

Is that normal?

No, for the first time, I am seeing a page with the notification quoted above, plus a "Do not sell my info" tab, but the page redirects back to DU before you can click anything.

But it sounds like it’s not showing up in the right place at the right time, so I think it’s a bug in our ad platform. We’re working on getting it fixed.

In my case when I go to my posts and I tap on the number next to my post to see responses to my post comes up every single time over and over and over and I can’t make it go away
