When this banner is clicked on, it takes you to nitroon.com and is trying to market stuff - GNHQ please remove this!!!

Martin Lewis has made it known that he is in no way connected with these ads and has dissociated himself from them.

Doesn't GN check these things before putting them on the site?

Hi humptydumpty

These are targeted ads by Google and nothing to do with Gransnet. It's the usual occurrence of Google Ads targeting users specifically based on your browser location, history and cookies, rather than any intrusive advertising from us.

You can change your privacy settings by clicking on the blue privacy toggle at the bottom of the page, which should prevent this. Or you might find it useful to adjust the settings/ad personalisation in your browser.

We hope this makes sense but do let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Sarah, thanks for that; I'm accessing the site on a PC and can't see the blue privacy toggle you refer to?
