musicbassman Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 So, I go on to the Basschat site this morning and I'm met with this : - and there's no opt out. Sorry guys, but I understand that under current data protection regulations the site owners must offer an opt out, and there isn't one here. Can someone explain what's going on ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I believe the cookie consent option thing is an EU law. No idea if it still applies in the UK. I think there's a UK law that websites have to provide certain information regarding their cookie/data use( you should be able to see a link to Basschat's cookie info at the bottom of this page) but that's not quite the same thing.

Hellzero Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I agree with the fact that in the U.K. this "no" option is not mandatory anymore BUT it's a worldwide website including EEC where it's mandatory to have the ability to refuse cookies. Better act and put that option before some radicalists decide to lodge a complaint and ask for money BassChat doesn't have. And don't tell us it's hard to implement... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Do I get a share of your advertising money for this? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkie635 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm no tech-head. Today, my time on Basschat has been plagued by unwanted adverts which are impacting on my ability to use the site - sometimes I have unwanted adverts for kak obscuring the actual site. Appalling. Hope to be able to dump Google Generated Garbage as soon as possible. Not even a slightly happy bunny. 😡 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 As a rule I want to leave the smallest electronic trail that I can. If the option to opt out can be restored I'd be happier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Not a problem. Go into your internet settings and select the "delete all cookies and browsing history on exit" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 For those interested I have History Kill for something like two decades now, it's a fantastic tool to do what it's supposed to do, but the fact is that we are now aiming to AI to decide what's good for us... 🤦🏻♂️ Come on, there are other ways to make a website viable.
