The large banner is set to only show up one time, regardless if a reader closes the banner or not. Most readers are not seeing these banners anymore.
The blue banners at the top of the page do show up more than one time. If you close these banners, you won't see anymore banners. If the description above is not working for you, please let us know at don...@wikimedia.org so we can follow up. You may be noticing more banners because we have increased the traffic today for a final year-end push. Banners were running at limited traffic the past two weeks. The campaign will end today.
