Confluence stops working after a while until cookies are cleared

I have an issue where Confluence stops working after a while.

The issues are as follows:

  • Opening a link will work and show the page.
  • After about 5 seconds, the page will turn black.
  • Using the search bar does not work, no results show.
  • Trying to expand items in the sidebar does not work.
  • Clicking on a link in the sidebar does work, but it too will turn black after the same 5 second delay.
  • You can't edit pages.

I have found two ways to temporarily fix the issue.

  • Clear the cookies for Atlassian.net.
  • Go into the inspector, switch to the Network tab, tick "Disable Cache" and reload the page.

Unfortunately, this only fixes it for a week or two until it comes back.

This is not specific to any one Confluence instance. Once one stops loading, all (that we have tried) stop loading.
