selenium webdriver chrome page keeps loading

I have create a simple bot that at the entry of the betfair website will simply click the accept cookies button. Its been working for months but now all of a sudden once entered the page, it will just keep loading without performing the action. Any idea why?

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time



url = r"C:\Users\salde\Desktop\chromedriver_win32 (1)\chromedriver.exe"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=url)

##website to navigate to
driver.get('https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/')

##to accept cookies at the entry to the website

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
    EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler"]'))
)
element.click()

time.sleep(2)

btnCookies = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler"]')
btnCookies.click()

As you've defined them, your variables element and btnCookies target the same element, and you shouldn't need to click it twice. (In fact the second time, the element is now longer displayed, which is why you get the element not interactable error. At least try cleaning up your code to remove these last few lines and see what happens:

time.sleep(2)

btnCookies = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler"]')
btnCookies.click()
