Every single article that I try to open today is showing this message with all browsers. All cache and cookies cleared on my system and made no difference. Can you please fix?

Yes, it's quite a surprise to have this bizarre announcement pop up every time I click a link to SA from one of my usual SA notification emails. Links are from emails in Yahoo mail and using properly updated Chrome browser...
Please fix!
Here's a copy of the "message of doom" we're all getting:
Request Header Or Cookie Too Largenginx/1.8.0
Same issue as Sieranvin above: yahoo mail, chrome browser, same message. Here's what I wrote to SA support, though their answer didn't resolve the issue (yet), except leading to this blog. Hope SA can fix this (totally new to me) issue ?

To whom it may concern,
since 11/19/2018 I am having increasing problems accessing SA articles. When clicking on "Read now", instead of the article opening in usual fashion, I receive this message:
Request Header Or Cookie Too Large nginx/1.8.0
I have cleared my browser history, cookies, etc and restarted the CPU with little success. I have no problems opening any other e-mails, except from SA.
Can you help? Thanks!
Same problem for me as well.
Request Header Or Cookie Too Large
In Chrome, if I go to "Settings" Advanced, Privacy and Security, Content Settings,Cookies, See all Cookies and Site data, and scroll through the list until l locate the Seeking Alpha icon, I find that 150+ cookies have been set to the location. If I clear that and return to my email, I can then select any Seeking Alpha email and be transferred to the site. But, this is only good for a few visits to the site and the cookies accumulate to 150+ again and the link no longer works. Most annoying and I can't seem to find a permanent fix. Coincidentally, my problem seems to have started the same time as others 11/19/18.
Alternatively, install this Chrome extension, and when you hit the error page, click the extension to export your cookies and send the file to danielh@seekingalpha.com
Never used to get this error message before today. Cleared Chrome cache multiple times today and then seekingalpha links work for a brief period of time and then this error message reappears. Almost renders the seekingalpha email alerts on specific stocks or authors unusable. Is this a known problem? Please help?
