Webdriver won't click "Accept cookies" button, throws "ElementNotInteractable" Exception

First of all, I'm using Cucumber 4.2 and Selenium 3 on Firefox 64.

I'm trying to get past the "Accept cookies" button with Selenium, but nothing seems to work. I've tried following DebanjanB's solution to this error, but without any luck.

Here's my code:

String btnLocation = new String("/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div"); WebDriverWait wait15 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15); wait15.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath(btnLocation))); driver.findElement(By.xpath(btnLocation)).click(); 

And this is the error trace:

I tried changing the third line of my code to:

List<WebElement> elList = wait15.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath(btnLocation))); System.out.println("Elements found: " + elList.size()); for(WebElement el : elList) { System.out.println(el.toString()); } 

...to make sure that element existed, and it did.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I should add, I used "Inspect element" to get the Xpath of the "Accept cookies" button. I've also tried copying that button's class, but when I search for that class in the webpage's source code, not even the word "accept" can be found in it, let alone the class name.

EDIT 2.0 To answer Recep's comment, here's the button's HTML:

<div class="optanon-alert-box-button-middle accept-cookie-container" style=""> <a class="optanon-allow-all accept-cookies-button" title="Accepter les cookies" aria-label="Accepter les cookies" role="button" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Optanon.TriggerGoogleAnalyticsEvent('OneTrust Cookie Consent', 'Banner Accept Cookies');" tabindex="3">Accepter les cookies</a> </div>
