Technical Test Thread 2014/15/16/17/18/19/20

I was on the DU page just now when I got this pop-up in the bottom-left corner.  I haven't clicked it, it disappeared when I clicked the forum list tab.

"Sudo-anonymized" ???

I have just declined it Scylla....

It says that choice ( ie 'If you decline we will place an opt-out cookie in your browser so that we know that you've declined. This data is not transmitted or stored in our system) will be logged in a local to PC only cookie for future reference, however as yet it seems to pop up every page I load.....but that may be cos I have all 3rd Party cookies blocked.

Hopefully the web peeps will get their act together soon.

Thanks for the response, Trying.  I've just done a full MalwareBytes Premium* scan and it's not detected as malware.

I'm concerned because of the spello and the fact that I didn't think RSPB delivered ads anyway, so was wondering if the site had been compromised.

*Premium - only because I bought the Pro many years ago when it was on a very cheap offer.

I agree...it is a very poorly done GDPR notification system notice Scylla....and makes no reference as to who is doing it. It also doesn't link to a relevant privacy policy.

I suspect it has been placed here by one of the 3rd Party Cookies that I have blocked..... at least, I hope this is the case, and not that the RSPB website has been compromised.

3rd party cookies without exception I have blocked when visiting RSPB pages currently.

I forgot to mention the other suspicious item, no link to privacy policy.

I ended up setting a restore point and clicking the dang cookie notice.

Good thinking re: setting a restore point, Scylla

Did you choose Decline or Accept?

Did it resolve the notice from re-appearing when you refreshed the page?

I accepted (because I do accept from RSPB) and the notice disappeared.

Just trying to post a photo...

Edit: OK, that worked!
