This forum has become impossible to use. No matter how many times I accept, the "Can we continue to use your data and personalise ads for you?" keeps coming up every time I click a new thread or return to the index.

Surely I can't be the only one with this issue

(Macbook pro / Safari 13.1)

Have you reported it to the techies/mods - not sure if they are working today

From what I have been able to gather is that it goes away when you subscribe. I wanted to subscribe anyway and support the magazine, so all fine for me now.

@jako - what search engine are you using within Safari? It might be worth looking at something like Brave, DuckDuckGo or Firefox if you’re using Google. I’ve been using all three on my pad and phone for ages, in Safari I use DuckDuckGo, and on my phone and iPad I use DuckDuckGo in Safari, plus the other three as well, and had few of the issues described. I’m now subscribing, to help the magazine out, although I’ve yet to download the mag.
