Crosland Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 RMweb is storing cookies despite me clicking "Cancel" rather than "OK" when asked to confirm my understanding and acceptance of cookies. i believe this is in violation of EU privacy laws https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/ By clicking cancel rather than OK I have not given my consent to cookies being stored. I discovered this accidentally when I clicked cancel by mistake. When I opened RMWeb again I was not asked for consent and cookies had been saved. The same behaviour occurs on two different windows 7 machines using Chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel a PM to Andy Y might have been a more tactful way of raising something that clearly matters to you, may indeed be in breach of this and that, but matters to some of us not one jot.

Well I for one am glad this issue has been raised on an open forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well so long as Andy's rogue cookies aren't burrowing into my offshore bank accounts I don't really mind. The only thing I wouldn't want him to know about (apart from my Isle of Man bank details) is my bus porn habit. Seriously though if there is a non-compliance with the EU Cookie law then it's worth fixing to avoid any problems for Andy and the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I bet there are other sites that many people use with much more fearsome 'Cookie Monsters'. I'll open the bidding with Facebook Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 There may be a bug in the software module for it which I will look into in due course however the notification is clear in stating the site uses cookies, so all it is not doing then is clearing them after that session.
