Privacy

[dannyk13]

Ed,why do I keep getting the privacy tab to click on when I post a reply. It has happened five times in the last couple of minutes.

[dannyk13]

And on the crossword button and in latest posts.

If Quantcast weren't in San Francisco I'd go and pull their plug out.

Don't you mob care about antipodeans Ed?

I feel left out.

[scorpiojo]

Does the site keep freezing for anyone else?

[Old_Geezer]

Was thinking I was the only one too.

[dannyk13]

No, just the annoying privacy thingy.Is it the Russians hacking the site?

[jno]

are you seeing it upside down, ozzy?

[scorpiojo]

:-)

Only once have I seen the annoying "cookies" banner on AB.
I clicked "ok" now go away.
It did, but, every time I click on a link supplied by a poster that directs me to a UK site I get the same guff, over and over again.

Cookies have been a part/function of the internet since it started all those years ago.
Do we really need to be reminded?

What a sure fire way to reduce the use of AB, constantly seeing a 'privacy' page on changing categories or threads. Probably 'flounce' if it persists ☺☺☺

[anotheoldgit]

The same is happening to me, most annoying.

[soliloquy]

It's happening to me all the time. It has happened twice while reading the posts on this thread.

Check the settings, the way you use your internet devices.
Are you sure of where the problem lies?

[dannyk13]

Come on Ed.Get the techies to sort this out.

[bednobs]

Me too

[murraymints]

"Cookies have been a part/function of the internet since it started all those years ago."

Agreed, the main difference is that before they sneaked all the cookies onto your pc without permission. Now they have to ask permission to sneak them all on your pc, and hope you will just click 'OK' without thinking. Just had the 'declaration' come up 6 times in about 3 minutes.

Feel free to say NO to cookies Slackalice.
Hope you enjoy every website that welcomes you.
.
There is a way to reduce the invasion of cookies without restricting your browsing pleasure.

Not happening to me. Could it be because I'm on a Mac using Safari?

[jim360]

And me. Clicking refresh gets rid of it (sometimes) but it's almost unmanageable.

Also I'm sure there's an irony about being told how much my privacy is valued everywhere I go on this site ...
