Element click intercepted python Selenium

Question

I have the following code that should click a cookie button. But for some reason it gives the error that is given below. Can someone tell me why It can't be clicked while the EC for the explicit wait is literally 'element_to_be_clickable'?

PATH = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.set_page_load_timeout(100)
driver.get(URL)


WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'accept-cookie-consent')))
driver.find_element_by_class_name('nlportal-cookie-consent-button').click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'accept-cookie-consent')))
driver.find_element_by_class_name('nlportal-cookie-consent-button').click()


WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'content-loader__load-more-link')))
driver.find_element_by_class_name('content-loader__load-more-link').click()

This is the error I get:

Few things to be noted down here :

Launch the browser in full screen mode.
```
driver.maximize_window()
```

When you use WebDriverWait, like this :

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'accept-cookie-consent')))

it returns a webelement, so you do not have to separately call driver.find_element_by_class_name('nlportal-cookie-consent-button').click()

instead you can perform .click() on WebDriverWait command directly.

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'accept-cookie-consent'))).click()

You can give it a try with ActionsChain as well.

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'accept-cookie-consent')))).click().perform()

Imports :

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

you are doing everything very difficult, simplify everything, you will be happy!

wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, '#nlportal-cookie-consent-button'))).click()
