driver.get("https://demo.guru99.com/test/newtours/")
driver.maximize_window()

WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "gdpr-consent-notice")))

WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="save"]/span[1]/div/span'))).click()
