Happens to me too now, always ... probably due to the Brave browser I use (Chrome clone).

I either fire up Opera and grab it with that browser, or I just use the following link.

https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim

That gives me a blank browser tab or window, with [] as text at top left.
I then go to Orders & settings, to confirm I got the game, plus continue onto Subscriptions to cancel (de-select) the GOG Partners checkbox.

Give the DuckDuckGo browser/search engines a try. Better than the Brave browser, and the Google search engine is utter bollocks.

I've been using Duck Duck Go search engine instead of Google for many years.

I'm yet to try their browser though, for two reasons - They require you to download a downloader to then download it. And you need windows 11.

I use Brave primarily because I have found it to be the lightest browser when it comes to resources, and quicker to load web pages on this old PC. I also have Comodo IceDragon installed, supposedly the Firefox clone equivalent. I prefer Brave. When I need to, I get by okay with Opera, and its free VPN like aspect has been helpful many times.

My kupuna kept his Gateway 386 PC, mostly as a paper weight, but used to regale me about the joys of MS DOS, and adding a sound card or additional memory by mounting chips on the motherboard. That was after the Commodore and TRS 80 days no less! But the idea of keypunches and card readers for IBM 360 use is Stone Age! He said looking out the window of the Uni computing center as a EE student no less and seeing a T-Rex was uber droll. LOL
