Ed " We Value Your Privacy"

[TonyV]

This message keeps popping up every couple of minutes, how do I stop it ?

[TonyV]

anyone got any advice?

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve had to change browser to Firefox from chrome to stop this Tony

[TonyV]

OK thanks Bobbi will give that a try then.

Sorry Tony. I'm no expert but this never happened before the changes to The Data Protection Act in 2018. It seems almost hypocritical to me:

"We value your privacy, so we will allow lots of companies to put cookies on your computer. For your benefit".

[davebro]

I'm on Chrome. I get the privacy pop-up when accessing many sites but not repeatedly & never on AB.

[davebro]

could it be something in your browser settings needs changing?

[TonyV]

possibly Dave but don't know what?

[davebro]

*possibly* settings / advanced / site settings / pop ups & redirects.

mine says blocked

or maybe another of the items under site settings - who knows!?

[TonyV]

OK Dave will have a look thanks.

[davebro]

oops - missed a step - insert Privacy & Security after Advanced.

[Old_Geezer]

You can't. It seems to be there just to annoy.

[Old_Geezer]

Notice also how, when you tell it that you're not interested in being spied upon, there's a good chance it'll retaliate by logging you out ?

[davebro]

If it does it for some users but not for others surely there must be some setting that is different & can be changed?

[Old_Geezer]

Or since it seems to be this site related, maybe the site code could be checked to ensure it isn't randomly triggered, in any browser, on any device.

I changed from chrome to Firefox a month ago on the suggestion from Bobbiesox, I think. Did the trick for me.
Still does it on chrome though. :-(

I'm on Chrome, never happened to me.

Not a helpful comment I know but I think it's outrageous that a site expects you to install/switch to a different browser to make it work properly. It's not the first time either by a long chalk. I remember some other issue that was driving everyone mad and the answer was to switch browsers (from IE if I remember correctly).

[spathiphyllum]

It's not a specific browser because I had issues on chrome and swapped to Safari where i found no issues.

[davebro]

//It's not a specific browser because I had issues on chrome and swapped to Safari where i found no issues.//

So you're saying it IS a specific browser - i.e. Chrome?

Seems to me some of us have different browser settings in Chrome causing it to behave differently. But I don't know enough to def put a finger on it!

[spathiphyllum]

I am saying it is NOT a browser issue but more a browser settings issue as danny has not had issues on chrome and i did.

However, on a different device chrome is fine and safari is not. It is rather odd.
