Noticed a new privacy pop-up? More info here...

Hello everyone. We know how much you all love a privacy pop-up so obviously, you'll be thrilled to notice a brand new one appearing on the site today with even more privacy options that ask you to consent how your data is used.

We've introduced this because the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB UK) has brought in a new standard and we’re complying with that, using the language the IAB suggests.

The new standard gives website users more choice over what data can be used for so please don't be concerned about it.

Head over to our FAQ page if you want to know more, and as always, fire away with any additional comments or questions and we’ll do our best to answer them.

Thanks, MNHQ.

Hi @Ghouliet and @rslsys just getting back to you to say that the unticking is a quirk of Google’s design.

When you click the ‘privacy settings’ link it actually resets everything. This is by design but obviously looks like it hasn’t saved anything.

Hope this helps. Flowers

Hi @Ginkypig we can see your point of view about several toggles to opt-out, rather than one. As a responsible publisher, we give our posters granular control of the settings. Quantcast the other main provider also provides this granularity.

Just to check - are you referring to non-ad supported sites that just have cookie banners? Can you send an example screenshot please? Flowers

Hi @DimityandDeNimes just popping in to answer your question. There are a few examples but the most common would be something where you’ve filled out a physical form and the company have then stored that. When you come online and register with the same email you used on the form they could link that data together.

A supermarket is perhaps a good example. If you have a store card and buy something in store they know it’s you. If you then login to their website then they could link the two worlds together and perhaps show you something online that they know you’ve bought instore before.

Hope this helps. Give us a shout if you need any more info. Flowers
