I didn't get a message at all!

The only way I could get on GN was to hit consent. Is this right? Not at all happy.

I witlessly clicked Consent, as I usually do to cookies, but if this is more intrusive I could be giving up on GN.

Info needed GNHQ.

I want to know, too. I clicked on the Manage Options link and there were loads of things.

At the end of the day many GNers aren’t bothered by having their keyboard clicks monitored and having the info gathered, I guess it depends on how important GN is to each of us.
Do I want my DHS and ACs ( when they come to stay ) keyboard clicks recorded as well?
Unless I am reassured that this will not happen I won’t be back after today and will delete the account to that they can’t sneak onto my IPad.
Sad but hey ho it seems to be the way the internet is going.

I think that many of us would like to know.

I would like to know too please.

Dear GN
I had a pop up on my screen today, I did not want to consent to any of your headings, but I wasn’t given an option on some of them, so I reluctantly pressed the Consent button.
Can you tell me why we weren’t warned about this and why we had to consent to get onto the GN site today .
this is also on the AIBU thread.

EDIT by GNHQ: Please see more info on the new consent form here
