pop up consent form today

I didn’t consent but still got on ok
I ticked no to them all

Interesting that GNHQ managed to get these changes out so quickly that they didn't have time to tell us about it but they've been dithering over whether they can create a new forum for Sexism & Equality for the past few months and still havent sorted out highlighting an OPs post on each thread .

It says on the "Privacy Policy" that at the bottom right of that page there is a toggle button to go somewhere to change options. There isn't.

It also says that in "My Gransnet" "Settings" you can change all your cookie options. You can't.

I don't see anywhere that anyone can change their choices once they have consented. It seems that there is no going back and checking that you chose the right thing and changing it if you find you made a mistake. I suppose a way may be in the pipeline, but it should have been inserted BEFORE we received the ultimatum to choose now or forever hold our peace and the thread that tells us about the New Consent Form. www.gransnet.com/forums/site_stuff/1283272-New-consent-form

I clicked "Consent" without reading anything as I thought it was the usual Cookies Window but just in a different colour. Then I wanted to see if I could change any of the settings and take a closer look. So I went to "My Gransnet" but was asked to log in. I am logged in! Otherwise how could I be posting this?

I just thought it was the usual 'cookies' thing too FarNorth, idiot that I am about all things techy!

So what in effect does it mean anyone?

Having put this pop up on our screens today and in view of the response GNHQ are very quiet. It is a shame that many may leave if this isn't explained to us properly.

Eloethan

I ticked consent too - partly because the explanatory panel I found difficult to understand and navigate. Perhaps I too need to think about leaving Gransnet.

Exactly what I did Eleoethan now I am annoyed with myself for doing that and with GN for putting me in that position.
I too will reconsider using this forum.

I think I had the option not to consent to anything, but might have got that wrong! It's hard to be sure, when you can't go back for another look.

I want to back and check it now, cannot seem to find it.

I went through and religiously removed consent from everything I could, took quite a while and a bit of concentrating. I don't mind as a one off, but I had a spell when GN insisted I review my consent options every single time I logged on, protests were ignored, and then mercifully it did stop. If I had to go through all that lot every day, then I might not come back.

I just clicked ‘consent’. What’s the worst that can happen?
I can always leave down the line if I have regrets.

And they introduce it on a Friday afternoon...

I clicked on consent I am on my iPhone with baby GC asleep on my lap (he is in our bubble) I was not fully concentrated so I have no idea what I have consented to ??

Some of the options automatically changed back what I had chosen. Not happy.

Yes, I too hit consent, but I would like to know why GNHQ saw fit to spring this on us.
I'm not happy about it either.

Poor show GNHQ. You could at least have done us the courtesy of warning us that this was in the pipeline and given us the opportunity to think about it. Rude and invasive behaviour.

Big Brother anyone ?

Nearly everything now needs consent. I just press and hope for the best while fearing the worst

Hmmm - I am another wondering what I have actually consented to

I clicked on 'manage options' and yes, there were loads of things, but I doggedly scrolled down and toggled every single one. Took me a while, but I get so annoyed at things defaulting to me consenting. Really should not be that way, grrrr. And there could at least be a 'toggle all' button, instead of forcing us to laboriously scroll through the whole damn lot

I ticked consent too - partly because the explanatory panel I found difficult to understand and navigate. Perhaps I too need to think about leaving Gransnet.

Handled very poorly, they should of explained the reasons before giving us no choice in the matter. I hit off all the consent buttons I could but there were some that we were given no choice over.
