OldNick Posted 17 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 17 August, 2018 Also I looked at the privacy settings, it has on/off re adverts etc, was I right to put them all to off. Im not keen that my information is being collected. Its a football forum not for advertisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 17 August, 2018 Share Posted 17 August, 2018 Sorry, guys, this is on me. I've used the same "if they are a full member, don't show them ads" code as we used before, but for some reason it's not working this time. I'm investigating.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 17 August, 2018 Share Posted 17 August, 2018 Hi Baj, I am getting ads due to my subscription not being updated to full member despite paying yesterday, can you have a look and sort for me please ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 25 August, 2018 Share Posted 25 August, 2018 but why do you have to go to those settings to turn things off. Everytime Ive saved the settings and it still turns back on when I log in It's the QuantCast platform that's been deployed to gain consent to the use of cookies. Personally, I don't think it's compliant with PECR (the law governing cookie deployment) as it doesn't produce informed consent (it says it will apply your choices to your interactions with all its other customers and it's not clear who they are unless you go digging around). Bascially they jumped on the GDPR-bandwagon to sell a "GDPR-compliant" solution to a non-GDPR problem and loads of people fell for it. It might be that by accepting certain session cookies you can avoid it popping up every time whilst still saying "no" to advertising cookies.

Wurzel Posted 25 August, 2018 Share Posted 25 August, 2018 I am NOT a paid member but this site is all over the place! - ads popping up all over the place, java script error's, screen moving up down ! What's going on?? Same here although since I changed the privacy settings turning all the options off it seems to be mainly empty shells where ads should be. Constantly getting an "X" about 3cm up 4cm across in bottom left of screen (laptop, firefox browser) seems to be approximately top right corner of where a floating ad kept appearing before I changed the settings. Clicking it makes it disappear but it's back every time a page loads. Also every page load runs through loads of "transferring data" "waiting for" and "loading" messages followed by various names in bottom left corner despite settings switching them all off.

OldNick Posted 28 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 28 August, 2018 The privacy settings do not stay as your choices once you log off,so every time you have to turn off as you log back in. It is a nonsense and also annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 31 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 31 August, 2018 The Iagree box keeps coming up and then you have to go on the privacy settings to knock all the notifications to off. Surely this can be remedied. I put save but it keeps doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 1 September, 2018 Share Posted 1 September, 2018 This doesnt seem to be happening for most people, so let me explain what I think it happening 1) Consent window pops up. 2) It asks you "can we keep some cookies to remember your preferences on ads etc" 3) User select "no, bugger off" etc. 4) Because you've told the consent plugin it's not allowed to keep cookies on you, it's not allowed to remember who you are. 5) You revisit site. Go to step 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to step 1.the same doesn't happen with other websites I visit. I suggest that a lot of users beleive they have done it once and it says save and so they don't need to do it again, Also I get ads before I have logged in. None of this happened befiore you changed things. If anyone else is having this happen can you list here so Baj can see as I feel he thinks it may only be a couple of us. If so fine then it must be my 2 computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevvy Posted 1 September, 2018 Share Posted 1 September, 2018 I keep getting the privacy set up every time I log on to site, a random X somewhere on the screen at the bottom, also it now take ages for each page to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 3 September, 2018 Author Share Posted 3 September, 2018 I’m still getting redirected to ads on a daily basis. Making it pretty tedious to try and read anything its having to turn off the privacy settings everytime I log in is also tedious. I would have thought once it had been turned off the first time and saved that should be enough. Im sure plenty of users on here are having info taken off their computers that they wouldn't really want. Eg their viewing habits for the advertisers. Its not right IMO but it seems nothing is going to be done to rectify it. Im not sure if this is what the authorities expect when they set up the regulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 12 September, 2018 Author Share Posted 12 September, 2018 being a full member I dont get that thankfully. With help from Marsdino it seems today I dont have to click on the privacy settings each time I log in here. It may be worth paying the £5 so you dont have the ads.
