Telegraph Free Articles Limit?

[EDDIE51]

Every time someone posts a link to a 'Daily / Sunday Telegraph' item, I click on it only to get a warning 'You have reached your free articles limit' and a blacked out page. Is it only me? and is there a way round it?

[Baldric]

Same here, very annoying

[Mamyalynne]

Me too.

I was looking for the link about the man who had his ears cut off to look like a parrot, but the Daily Wail has the story

I managed to get the Telegraph article for that one posted it on "would you employ this man" thread.

[EDDIE51]

^^ yes that was the one I was trying to look at !

Use a different browser EDDIE.

The only way that the Telegraph website knows that you've already looked at some of its pages is through the cookies that it places onto your computer.

Simply clear your cookies and the problem will go away.

I clear my cookies automoatically everytime I leave the internet, and have never had the problem. But it does mean I have to sign into AB every time I'm round, and to other websites too.

Select your history and clear.

If your browser has a "PrivateWindow" i.e. a browser window that does not retain web page visit details (Safari or Firefox, Chrome has an "Incognito Window") then use this and the limit is never reached as no visit details are saved, no need to clear cache after. I assume recent IE would have the same capability but I don't have IE to check

Thank you so much Milvus. I've just found the private window option in Safari thanks to you. I was thinking I would have to start paying a monthly £8 fee to the Telegraph. Mwah!

[ladybirder]

Sugar! It seems the Telegraph knows I'm on its site. I start with a New Private Window, fine. Then the page clears and re-loads and the Cookie warning is back again. As I said, Sugar.
I don't want to clear Cookies as I lose too much stuff I need and takes me ages to find it out again.
Any ideas anyone?

I had a notice today telling me that I was on the first of my 'free' articles and warning that I would have to pay if I went over my limit!

[Hopkirk]

You could always pay.







Sorry, silly idea.

[jourdain2]

Sorry, thick at IT as usual. How do I clear cookies? (I'm now on SSE, or SSR or something like that).

[Buenchico]

Ladybirder:
You don't have to delete all of your cookies. You can go into 'Details' and just remove those from specific websites:

Jourdain2:
SSE (or SSR) doesn't mean anything to me. Which device are you you using? (e.g a Windows PC, an Apple Mac, an Android phone/tablet or an iPhone?). That might give us a clue!

[Milvus]

Not sure why that would be happening to you Ladybirder, I've just loads 30+ pages in a row. No messages from Telegraph

[EDDIE51]

Thanks Chris clearing cookies has worked.

[EDDIE51]

ladybirder, on chrome you can clear anywhere from 'the last hour' to 'since the beginning of time' so you can just clear as much as you need.
