 > Hi @alFrame I assume you're seeing this when you set the homepage to the
 privacy page which is the expected behaviour even if there's nothing set
 for the posts page. The verbiage used is meant to be generic to cover
 either case;
 > "Warning: these pages should not be the same as your Privacy Policy
 page!"
 This also shows when I set the home page to my home page which is not the
 privacy policy page. It only changes if I set something as the post page.
 Unless the cookie notice plugin is sniffed by the code behind this and
 thinks that my front page is my privacy policy page...

 I will know more when I start updating all my clients sites. This might
 also be related to the theme builder I am using or other factors.

 Policy page!"
 That would be awesome! So there would be three stages:
 Basically no warning at all as long as the user does not set either both
 to the same or any of them to the privacy policy page.
 And then accordingly: "Warning: These pages should not be the same!"
 or: "Warning: Neither of these pages should be the same as your Privacy
 Policy page!"

 live in 5.3 I suggest you open a new ticket;

 %20follow-up%20to%20%2346831.
 I will create a new ticket after I know better if it's setup related or a
 generic appearance.

 Thank you!
