  • Bloody Audi advert on here…
  • CountZero

    Keeps demanding that I allow it to use my location to show me where my nearest dealer is.
    **** off! When I win the bloody lottery, I’ll find my own dealer, but until then, sod off.
    How to I switch the chuffing advert off, without coughing up £10/month for a subscription I don’t want?

    Yeah, sorry, per year, I was getting a bit miffed with a stupid box keep opening up demanding my location. It seems to have vanished now, no idea why it appeared, I’ve never done any searches for Audi as far as I can recall, and it’s the first time I’ve had an advert on here ask for my location, and it wouldn’t take bugger-off no for an answer, hence my getting a bit cross.
    Sorry ’bout that! 8)

    I’ve cleared my cookies so back to the generic watch for serious looking male in scuba gear ads.

    It reminded me to log in. Not before I became irrationally furious though. ****.

    The Audi add is capped at 1 in 24 – which means it only shows up once in 24 hours.. and only on mobiles and tablets. It’s cookie controlled, so if you delete your cookies for this site it will pop up again. It’s only for a few days and it’s a spot buy.. which means the agency came direct to us and asked for it to be placed rather than it coming via the targeted ad networks. It’s all a bit ad mad at the moment as our site is in demand. It will settle down about a day before christmas as all the ad agencies go back to sleep for another year.

    Would that be the R8 keyring at £82 sir?

    Should go and take one out for test drive and then when the salesman asks what you think, say fantastic Shame I could not possibly afford one.
    Now we have both wasted each others time.

    Cap doesn’t seem to be working, I’m getting the advert pretty much every time I open a tab for STW on my iPad. Not resetting cookies or owt. 🙁

    Same here. I’ve bought 3 bloody Audi’s now, to see if that helps reduce the frequency, but no joy 😡

    Yup, Audi ad was asking me for location – I opened up from mobile and was logged out; got asked twice, once for each page, before I logged in and breathed a sigh of ‘P’lief..

    Yep, I’m not using the ipad on the site now because it was driving me mad. It was being served constantly yesterday (and I really don’t want an Audi).

    I test drove an a4 avant once. Sales man didn’t come on the drive, asked if I liked it. “No” was my answer. Don’t think he was expecting that.

    I bought a 320d Tourer in the end

    Browsing for 10 mins or so I get the request to share my location with Audi (why, so you can tailgate me nearer home???) about 10 times.

    I suspect they simply have some tool that counts the number of references to their brand on social sites. It’s apparently not clever enough to know we are mostly taking the piss 🙂

    They’re probably patting themselves on the back as their ad got lots of mentions on the first day 🙂
