Every time I go on the official site I get a Privacy message. EVERY TIME, doesnt matter if I've agreed to it a 100 times and it takes up half the screen. The only effect is that I use the site much less now.

 

A slow Wednesday here!

Do you delete your cookies/cache regular ?

My problem with it is that it’s a piece of sh*t that doesn’t work properly on the WiFi at work. 

I.T is not my forte, but whether it's cookies, scones or hot cross f**king buns the Chelsea website is absolute sh*te. The old one was quite adequate, then some geek is let lose on it over the summer and ruins it.

Do you delete your cookies/cache regular ?

Not as far as I'm aware. I think it'it's just badly designed. Hopefully they monitor this feedback.

Some of the new PC software protectors advertise data protection as a new service, I suspect it may be periodically clearing cookies without you knowing about it.

The website is much better than the older one, loads much quicker. But it ill depend on what platform you view from and which browser. If you keep getting the privacy policy authorisation message, even after agreeing to it, then either the cookie isnt being made, or more likely some automated program is deleting them (as strider says.)

Thanks for the insights but I'm not having this problem elsewhere from my android phone.

I must also say i way prefer sites that ask you to agree or disagree with things rather than pointing you to a sh1tload of gobbledegook that they don't want you to read anyway.

I only go on it to order tickets these days, like I haven't bought a programme for 15 years, for me there both full of club bullsh*t propaganda, will log onto this forum upteen times a days though. Sensible and at times unsensible conversation but always entertaining.
