Is GN getting too intrusive?

The problem was as far as I am concerned is that we had no option for some of the stuff.

Feel very uncomfortable about that.

'All other devices in the household'?
It will also snoop on devices belonging to relatives who live with me?

GNHQ need to explain this to us properly, not with a lot of jargon.

GNHQ - where are you?

I shall see what they have to say before I flounce but I may join the queue for the exit.

Actually, GNHQ have been behaving very oddly just lately. Deleting threads by posters who have been here for a long while yet leaving absolute rubbish to stand.

Is there a new team?

Expect I'll be banned now for daring to question.

Not impressed by this, at all!

If you’re on an apple device and go into settings, you can switch on ‘Limit Add tracking’ which might help.

I agree, we should have had some warning.

I feel that the powers that be would be quite content to see the end of Gransnet so that it's resources could be concentrated on the much larger Mumsnet.

In terms of the future, Gransnet is stalled with a mainly one gender older membership which needs expansion into containing both sexes widely if its future is to be made viable and secure.

I did toggle everything that I could, but as others have said, there were several at the end of the list that gave no such option. They just impose these ones on us, forcing us to consent. Consent? Any idea what that word means anyone?

If GNHQ don't appear and give us an explanation, I'll be heading for the exit too

No excuse for GNHQ not having forewarned about this instead of just presenting it as a fait accompli. Like most others I couldn't refuse some of the options. Why so silent on this GNHQ?

Go to your uninstall programmes, Callistemon.

Use the proxy setting.

I just clicked ‘consent’.

Three threads on the same subject with no answer/posts from GNHQ.........perhaps if we start mentioning plimsolls onesies etc they might notice

Grandad1943 if GNHQ want to expand their membership, they're going a strange way about it.

I'm sooooo tempted to write something really rude/obscene.
That would raise the red flag.?

Merylstreep ?? I know exactly how you feel ??

I don't think it's any more intrusive than it was before, just put in a different format.
It's asking if you want the ads you see tailored to your interests or not?
The same applies to anything online and not every site makes the consent so obvious.

I agree Callistemon things have been different lately. Is this Covid related as everything else seems to be.
Still no word from HQ expect its gin o'clock now then home for the weekend.

Sodapop it’s POETS day ( p**s off early tomorrow’s Saturday)
Probably finished for the week and still no reply.

This wasn't very clear at all.
I had the same pop up, as the centre picture of Oops post, and although you could toggle the button, nowhere did it seem to say whether it was a Yes or No.
I have left mine as was.
Does that mean I have now consented to being spied on?

Go to your uninstall programmes, Callistemon.

Thanks EllanVannin, I'll have a go.

Before anyone pulls any plugs MawB can I ask “How is Hattie dog now?”

I think she is better thank you - copious Ice cubes tasting of gin might be helping.
Seriously she was very weak and pathetic for a couple of weeks, behaving like an old lady who needed to be treated gently, whereas she is only 4 1/2!
Still no idea what was at the bottom of it so I am keeping an eye on her, but now that she is eating and sleeping normally and still keen on a walkie, it is very reassuring.

I already have an ad blocker. I had to agree to bits of the pop up, there was no option but I`ll soon delete all cookies on my laptop
