Cookies

How do I except cookies to the forum?
I had a complete clear out of cookies and now the only way I can sign in is by going through
the 'contact us' portal.
It keeps asking me to except cookies but nothing to press to except them.
I hope I have made it clear what is happening.

When trying to log in the correct way, no sign in box and the front page topics show only the header but no detail of author etc.

I ' deleted cookies ' as per the link at the bottom of the page but I could not select which cookies I could and more importantly could not have. The only option is to click ' accept cookies ' which I think is totally unacceptable.

Are we in agreement Ray ?

Not sure what you consider "unacceptable" - this is no different to any other site on the Internet where you accept cookies.

The cookies that you delete via the link are the cookies relevant to this site - would you actually know which ones you wanted to delete and which ones you did not, and if you want to go down to that level then you can delete individual cookies via your browser.

I cleared out all history, data etc.
All I need is where are the cookies I assume I need to return the forum back to normal on my phone..

once a month I purge cookies from my browser - but am careful to keep useful ones to save having to log in again!

if you go to settings, privacy and security, cookies and other site data, see all site data and permissions you can scroll through and cherry pick which ones to dump/keep

I’d sack him David for daring to question the site, according to Foxy.

I love cookies. Especially the triple choc chip ones.

[Stephen]

M&S do the best cookies, especially their stem ginger ones. And they don’t bu99er up your computer.

[Mervyn and Trish]

They do if you drop crumbs in the keyboard!

[Stephen]

I can’t play the keyboard so it doesn’t matter.

Virtually every site that I use has a ' choice ' of accepting ' Essential ' cookies but they also provide the option to reject those that, for example, ship my data to third parties or use tracking capabilities.

What is the situation on this site please ?

You have the option to accept cookies and if you don't accept them then you do not have access - this is the legal requirement under GDPR.

As a side note there are no tracking cookies on this site.

Then why not rename it accept essential cookies only?

[david63]

Then why not rename it accept essential cookies only?

Because there is no requirement for a user to accept "essential" cookies.

Because there is no requirement for a user to accept "essential" cookies.

But just because it's a cruise forum site there's no need to follow P&Os poor customer service!!

I am again experiencing delays in accessing this site. It is again constantly asking me to log in and it takes ages to connect. It then takes ages to find the topic and then the page so I can post the cruise report.

I use chrome on my tablet.

Can they do that with any posting or only those that are 'linked' to their platforms ?

[Ray B]

I will carry on with as normal, once I get up the 'normal' log in page everything is working.
When opening up to log on, as I said, the page comes up with the topic headline but no last to post or how many pages until I hit the port or contact us, then I get a 'normal' opening page and log in.
I will go with that. Time for a cup of tea and a cookie.

[Ray B]

One more thing, there must be cookies or the site will not work I assume. But it keeps asking me to except.

There is no telling what sites can do these days which is why everyone who uses the Internet should have protection enabled.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Does that mean I should wear a condom while using the site?

Have you used a Facebook/Twitter link from a post on here? If so then that is a possibility.
