When I try to log in to [Codecov.io](http://Codecov.io) with “Public repos only” the OAuth screen that follows still requests access to private repos.

Please advice. This is a blocker for us to use Codecov.

Hi @louwers sorry for the delay here. Can you try deleting the cookie named `ghpr` and then try logging in again?
