I am leaving due to the consent message.

Oh I think I clicked consent without realising what it was. Silly me.

I went through and didn't consent to anything!!

Oh blimey I just clicked on it without reading it, idiot, though it was just a cookies thing, grrrrrrrrrrr!

The last pop ups had no slider , the default setting on about 3 of the options were for consent only, that is what I’ve objected to.
I think it was to gather info from all devices from your address. But as it’s disappeared I am waiting for GN to answer my question on Site Stuff and on AIBU.

I’ve changed them all to grey too!

I cannot find the consent settings on My Gransnet. I followed all the instructions to access it, but still can't find it. Help, please!!!

As you say, a bit of warning or explanation would have been nice.

Yep, I did the same as you, Doodle, so I'd say I've consented to nothing new.

Thing is, how will we know. I am obviously still in and still posting. I hope that leaving all the options grey means no to everything. Other here seem to have had different messages and to have no option to get in without consent.
I find it amazing (or do I ?) that there is nothing about this fro GNHQ. What are they playing at.

I have done the same as you Doodle - see what, if anything, happens!

You say it's all to do with the cash. Perhaps if they were to treat us as adults and not censor, nitpick everything that doesn't suit their agender perhaps people wouldn't leave and people would post more.

I’ve just had it when I logged on. There is a word that says consent then a slide bar on the right. I am assuming (though I would like to check with GNHQ) that if I slide the bar right (it turns from grey to blue ) that would mean I consent but if I leave it on the grey that means I don’t.
I have just turned them all to grey which I Hope means I don’t consent to anything. Is there more info on this?

The Independent newspaper wants you to stump up money before they allow you to research anything on their site.
Wikipedia is the same with certain information. The Guardian is trying but you can usually grab a few lines of what you want.

It is all to do with GN’s loss year on year. Do you remember they put out feelers a while back which didn’t get a great reception. This is all about attracting cash.

What consent message?

I shall miss you, FlyingHandbag

Before I make any rash decisions, I will look at all the implications, then make up my mind.
We are always being asked to consent to cookies when looking at websites.
I would like to see what is different about this request.

I have not had the message- but if I do, I will leave too.
