Does Answerbank Really Value My Privacy. ?

I think it knows it needs to comply with the law

[HansUrbancka]

Does complying with the law mean that AB can be controlled by other organisations. The Privacy Settings appear to have been established by a third party. Did Not the Ed say on one occasion that such was the case.?

I am fed-up with having to keep accepting/rejecting cookies each time I visit AB and having to sign in when I haven't logged-out.

The cookie pop-up is a legal obligation for The AnswerBank since the changes to data protection regulations in May. However, once you click "Accept", it should usually stay away, so I'm not sure why you keep seeing it. Something could be interfering with your cookies so your browser keeps forgetting you have already accepted. Are you doing any of the following:

- Using your browser in incognito or private mode
- Regularly clearing your cookies
- Using an ad blocker

Any of these things will interfere with your browser saving cookies and could cause the popup to keep appearing.

Having to sign in when you haven't logged out sounds like a separate issue, but can also be caused by your browser not saving cookies for the above reasons. Do you have the "Remember me on this computer" box ticked when you log in?

Most of the above, never had an issue apart from having to log in sometimes, which I would expect.

Yes, and your call is very important to them.

G'afternoon Ed....Thanks for having responded to my posting.

You have made me think further on this matter and it is the case that my Firefox Browser has been set 'Do Not Track'. Consequently, it could be the case that such a position is Not being accepted by your Server and efforts are being made to make me open to Targeted Adverts.

Looks as if I am stuck with Limited Privacy. So be it.

Hans.

In my opinion Firefox is the Best of Browsers. I do have a few others, but they overrun with adverts. :-)

Surely no sane individual allows themselves to be tracked ?
Society can't have gone that mad within my lifetime.

[HansUrbancka]

I certainly Do Not wish to be tracked. However, there is the problem that a number of sites ignore the request....'Do Not Track'
as honouring the setting is voluntary. :-
