As you’re using Yoast SEO basic version, seeing ads on the Yoast SEO pages on the sidebar is expected. Just FYI, Yoast SEO Premium is ad-free.
However, regarding notification recurring even after hiding via eye icon, perhaps it could be due to cache or some other reasons. We’re unable to replicate it on our default setup with the default 2020 theme and Yoast plugin.
Can you check it under the following situations once more?
– Are any JavaScript errors appearing?
– Does the issue resolve if you clear your cache and cookies?
– Does the issue resolve if you use a different browser such as Chrome or FireFox or Safari?
– If you have any browser plugins/extensions, does disabling them resolve the issue?
