Site stuff

Pop up requesting my location

I've had this pop up a couple of times, iPhone 5 mobile site. Google says it's related to Flash-based ads from their ad service.

I can't tell you what ad it was related to, sorry, but I didn't think it should be asking at all tbh. Does AdChoices have an option for blocking location-based ads?

Turn location services off on your iPhone?

I know Donkey, but I have it on atm because it's sometimes useful - on MY terms though, not on some random ad server's. I'll probably just keep telling it to fuck off.

Hello, thanks for reporting this, if we can work out which advert is causing this pop-up then we can get it reported and blocked.

I can see easyjet in the (v. helpful) screengrab you've posted, has anyone else seen this ad & pop-up together? We also run an ad at the end of the page so I just want to check that that ad is not the perpetrator. Thanks!

Thanks Colette.

The ad at the bottom of the page was for TfL.

Hi Colette, just had the pop-up with the Easyjet ad again. There was a different ad at the bottom of the page this time.

Interesting, looks like it is Easyjet then, we'll get right onto this- thanks!
