Hi all,
It is an invasion of privacy, I feel so I will be leaving. I will remember you all fondly. Xx

Oh no, will we have to sign it every time we log on?

I have just clicked on it without realising, and i am not pleased. I thought it was one of these accept cookies and that was all. If i am targeted with personalised adverts, I shall leave too.

Marydol Thank you for your message. I found the form again and adjusted sliders, so I am staying. Must let DFHS know. Kind regards.

Marydoll where/how did you find the form?

Marydoll where/how did you find the form?

I found it at the very very bottom of the page below the GN logo, in the privacy settings menu. X

Marydoll Fri 14-Aug-20 19:31:31

ExD, I couldn't do it on the desktop site on my PC, so still on my PC, I switched to Mobile site and then went on the Forums page, scrolled to the very bottom and clicked Privacy settings.
Do not click on Accept, click on Manage Options.

You can the choose, blue for consent or grey for no consent. The buttons do not slide, click on it instead to move.

Sorry the screenshots are hard to read, but if you click on each individual image, you will see better.

Marydoll Fri 14-Aug-20 19:33:25

Blast, it reverted back to Mobile Site.

ExD Fri 14-Aug-20 19:37:01

Thank you - found it, in the purple box along the bottom. Now I deed to know if the box needs to be over to the right (blue) or he left (grey) in order to opt out.
Sorry to be thick, I'm a complete novice when it comes to things like this, but I'm sure there will be other people in the same boat.

Thanks I have been back in and changed options - phew!

Marydoll Fri 14-Aug-20 19:46:13

GREY to opt out!

All details and updates on this thread

Iam64 Fri 14-Aug-20 19:49:45

Same, I consented to nothing

BlueSky Fri 14-Aug-20 19:56:40

Same here!

Callistemon Fri 14-Aug-20 19:57:46

Same, I consented to nothing

But what was the last part about? There was no choice.

Callistemon Fri 14-Aug-20 20:00:51

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL

I changed my settings earlier, logged out, then logged in again and my PRIVACY SETTINGS HAD REVERTED BACK TO THE DEFAULT.

I don't like to shout but in this case it is necessary.
Lara - do we have to do this every time we log on?

NotSpaghetti Fri 14-Aug-20 20:02:00

I didn't consent either. It was a very slow form though and I had to hold my finger on it to make it "stick"

It would have been useful to have a "reject all" button @LaraGransnet

NotSpaghetti Fri 14-Aug-20 20:04:14

Callistemon that's really annoying! I hope it's not set up to do that!

I've just looked and the consent bit was still grey but the legitimate interest bit was blue. X

Callistemon Fri 14-Aug-20 20:05:26

I had to change all mine again.

NfkDumpling Fri 14-Aug-20 20:25:27

I've just changed all mine again as I'm now using my iPad. I shan't use my phone in future as it's too fiddly.

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:27:00

IV e just gone to Privacy Settings at the bottom of the page, everything that I had put the slider to ‘not consent’ had been moved to ‘consent’, I’ve changed them back to Not Consent, must I do this each time I log on?

Still here though , not flounced off yet!

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:30:34

I’ve just had the pop up message again , I only went onto the Active section, must I do this every time??
