I am trying to scrape a website page that has a cookies request and 1-2 popup pages, but parsehub's included browser seems to be having problems. Here is the page: https://www.buildabear.com/locations?StoreID=176

Here's what it looks like when I visit in a normal browser and am able to accept cookies and close popups:

Within the parsehub browser, there is no prompt to accept cookies. Also, when I hover over the X in browse mode to try to close the popup, I get a javascript:void(0) notification. Is this possible to get past?

Also here are some console errors in the Parsehub browser:

Try this project, it deletes the "lightbox" from the page entirely and should leave it clean in preview / browse mode too. Often it doesn't matter if you close popups that are part of the page like this one is, but if the scrape doesn't work in the cloud, let me know.
