Majorgeeks Keeps Asking To Accept Cookie

I think this should be kinda of a concern a little.

At the bottom of the main page http://www.majorgeeks.com/ i keep getting a Black bar across the page with a green tab asking to accept cookies why is is this happening.

I hear that there is kind of a new law EU that some sites need this but it's kind of annoying seeing it every time i go to the main page.To search for programs.

 

It's called a Cookie Bar that keeps popping up

 

What?!
If they don't sell beer, I'm not going.

Seriously, more websites are using the cookie bar due to legislation.
If you don't keep the cookies for that website, it'll keep popping up with every visit.

 

Haven't seen the cookie bar here yet but I guess we will get it sometime.......... just checked the Australian internet calendar and it is still only up to July 2014 here LOL

I don't mind cookies for sites I trust like here at MGs it is handy to open the site being already logged in and with the site set to my preferences but for all the sites I don't want any cookies left.......... I surf incognito

 

I get it every time I just go to the 'home' page. And every time I logout from the forums it appears across the top saying - if you continue you agree to.... This is on 8.1 with IE.

 

I have not seen it either.

 

I haven't use CCleaner this month yet. Cache goes back to 7-3-2016. Seems to stay around the same size - maybe because I go to the same sites mostly except for an oddly different new story here and there. 250meg 6000 files in 8 folders and holding steady. However I don't sign in to most places - no google news sign-in, no cnn sign-in ect. And where I do sign in I don't check 'leave me signed in'. I get the banner from quite a few places. Always just thought it was because of the new 'legislation'.

 

Also if you do use CCleaner you can always set it to keep the cookies from Major Geeks or sites you use often.

 

I usually just ignore it instead of even acknowledging it any more. Unless it's in the way of content. Same as right now I still have the " Speed up browsing by disabling add-ons". I got tired of telling it 'don't disable' and mostly ignore it too.

 

So i am not the only one here that is seeing it.

Imandy Mann seems to see the same thing i am.

I even have a tone of ad blockers and it still seems to popup at random times.

I mean we all ready know by now that every web site uses cookies.95%of them are no big deal.You can clean them out with ccleaner and SUPERAntiSpyware .

 

I just realised you're getting the cookie bar on the main site which shouldn't happen.
Neither Internet Explorer nor Mozilla Firefox shows anything.

 

I am using Cyberfox another version of firefox

 

Typical knee jerk reaction from the high posts for current events. 40 years ago, I was part of a team that "told 'em so" What's so go good about the old days?

 

Just putting it out there to make sure others know about it.

And like i said it's not just this site other sites are doing this as well.

Just figure i get the word out about it is all.

I was just figuring that the popup could be stopped on your end Major Attitude since you are part co owner.

I new right from the start that all sites use cookies now ah days.It was just the random pop up that was my concern.

 

Thanks I use all the Adblock plus and Popup Controller for random tab pop ups.

 

Most other blockers should be able to use the same list, raw text data is here, the link can usually be added manually to the blocker/HostsMan, etc.

(Disclaimer: haven't seen an EU cookie popup/down/bar for a very long time)

 

Have a laugh...
