The original design called for pop-ups (actually pop-overs) to display explanatory text during the consent process. Uses can mouse-over a link to see an explanation pop-up.

However, some of the explanatory text is so long (multiple paragraphs) that the pop-overs can in some cases fall of the edge of the screen.

Instead, replace each pop-over with a modal dialog that can hold multiple paragraphs of information. Mousing over an explanatory link should display a title "Please click for for information". Clicking will display a modal dialog with the relevant information, with an close button to dismiss it.
