Gdpr

Internet users are being asked to agree to the Government Data Protection Regulations on forums etc, I guess we will be asked to comply on this forum too?

Re: Gdpr

That's interesting actually.

I've been getting pop-ups from all sorts of websites I haven't used in years. I don't read any of these reminders, I just click the 'x' box and they're gone.

Re: Gdpr

I think it's great that we can finally get rid of the companies that bombard us with unnecessary emails. Am I correct in thinking if you ignore them, you are opting out or do they vary?

Re: Gdpr

Dunno mate.
I guess I show read them tbh and unsubscribe but there are so many of them popping up and I can't be assed.

Re: Gdpr

Some are saying to follow the link to unsubscribe ,some say , don't do anything and they will continue to send info , it's confusing . I'm just doing nothing and see what happens . One said to read all the information and if still not interested make contact and my name would be deleted

Re: Gdpr

You're right to do nothing.

They cannot now, legally, send you advertising mail if you don't tick the boxes to say that they can.

If I want something I'll search the web sites and chose the one who has what I want. I don't need endless spam to get there!

Re: Gdpr

Thanks ted for clearing that up.

I have lost count of the times I have unsubscribed from Ebay & Homebase but they still return. Hopefully that will stop now.

Re: Gdpr

That bloody Jedward fan club is the worse.

Re: Gdpr

I've been noticing a lot more pop-ups lately; sometimes it's tricky to hit the x option.

Re: Gdpr

What I am finding a lot lately is a pop up asking me to accept their cookies. Quite often the pop up is so big I cannot read much of what I am wanting to see. It will only disappear if I accept the cookies. Don't seem always to clear it and carry on without accepting cookies.
