Can you try something for me and report back?

If you go into your mumsnet 'settings' (under 'my mumsnet') and sign in if necessary - do you see a little blue tab in the bottom right corner of your screen with a cog and 'Privacy' on it? If so when you click on it, what happens?

I think this should be where you can control cookies etc NOT anything to do with your personal data like email address. But nothing happens when I click on mine, both on a PC and an Android phone (mobile browser version, Firefox).

I asked about this a while ago on site stuff with more info on what' I'm talking about www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3995461-Cant-see-or-update-privacy-settings

but only one person replied to say that the same thing happens for them. LilyMN said it was a software update. I'm just wondering if it's just me, as I have other issues on mobile browser in how I manage my Threads I'm Watching (but it works ok on PC).

I don't see the little blue tab at all (Firefox on a laptop PC)

I can see the little blue tab, but nothing happens when I tap on it either (on my android phone)

bishopgiggles · 17/09/2020 11:51

So do you have the little tabs on the page that say 'Account Details', 'Password settings', 'About you' and 'Newsletters' - do you have anything else that looks like a privacy one?

There's a privacy policy down the page, but no settings. Just trying to work out what the privacy settings should look like!

I've just tried clicking it but nothing happens; on Android phone

bloodywhitecat · 17/09/2020 11:54

I can see it but clicking on it does nothing, Google Chrome on a laptop.

uglyanddesperate · 17/09/2020 11:54

Yep exactly that - all those little tabs, but nothing about privacy other than the privacy policy link and the seemingly dead "privacy" cog tab, which is separate to the other tabs.

I see this. Nothing happens when I click on it. Android phone browser.

Can you try something for me and report back?

Same here
rorosemary · 17/09/2020 12:18

Iphone app. Don't see it.

QuestionableMouse · 17/09/2020 12:22

Same as the others (Android phone/chrome browser)

I can see it but it won't let me click. Its almost like its part of the screen background rather than a link.

Findahouse21 · 17/09/2020 12:23

Nothing happens when i click in it. I'm accessing through a browser on a huwaaii phone

pastandpresent · 17/09/2020 12:29

Same here. Chrome. But more weird thing is, I was already logged in, but I had to log in again,. Weird.

bishopgiggles · 17/09/2020 12:39

Weirdly when refreshing the thread i got the periodic popup giving me the option to go and update my data settings! So i guess that must pop up once a month or something. Would be good if we could access them ourselves though.

'So do you have the little tabs on the page that say 'Account Details', 'Password settings', 'About you' and 'Newsletters''

Yes, I have all those, but no privacy one. There's a link further down to MN's privacy policy but that's the only use of the word 'privacy' on the page.
