Hello Saskia,
We had a similar issue and it was due to the ‘ns-session’ and ‘newscientist-auth-cookie’ were being dropped by EZproxy. The stanza below corrected the issue for us:

Subject: [lis-e-resources] New Scientist access issues
Hello list,
We have been having problems with accessing New Scientist via hosted EZProxy, using any browser other than Chrome, for quite a while now. The screen repeatedly refreshes whenever New Scientist is accessed
using Firefox or IE, making it impossible to read anything. OCLC have done a pretty thorough investigation and believe there is nothing they can do at their end. At the moment we are advising people to use Chrome as a workaround, but it would be preferable
if our patrons could use any browser successfully. Has anyone else experienced the same issue and if so what was the outcome?
Many thanks.
Saskia
