Not having seen it before, has anyone else had this?

I got the same - GDPR related?

Just logged out and back in again, nothing here. I'm on a laptop, is this on smartphone only?

Ditto.

One for @Shaun

I got it too. It is actually surprising that we haven't had it before now, since it is probably a legal requirement!

 

[Oldhippy]

I had one and turned off every option. Seems to work fine so far.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Maybe it is only for Night Owls. 😁

You may be right, I got the same message.

Since the GDPR rollout we've been displaying non-personalised ads; these have been pulled from the non-branded ads pools and generate considerably less revenue for the running of the site (see various posts poking fun at some of the ads!)

There have been some recent updates and we can now offer options to tailor preferences for personalised ads, which is what the pop-up allows. Should you wish to change your preferences, just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the shield icon (mobile/tablet users should find it on the left).

But from what i can see you can't turn everything off. Apart from having to plough through the "legitimate interest" (legitimate in what sense?) Buttons clicking off there remain a whole line-up of permissions which you can't turn off at all.
Bugger this.
Place for various reasons hasn't been up to much for a while anyway. Definitely not worth big data rifling through my stuff.
So unless I have missed something, bugger it.

Came on when I switched on

Switched everything off and it's gone away.

I'm getting an annoying popup asking me to turn off my ad blocker, which frankly I'm not going to do. So when it annoys me enough I'll just stop using the forum

Is there still an option to pay to remove the ads?

Its well worth the money, if anything to help support the running of the forum.
