Got it
In other words:
By being lazy and thus still using your services I do help you . . .
Oh, wrong label.
It's not about 'organised stupidity', but about organising stupidity.
I turned on AdBlocker years ago.
ReplyDeleteGenerally, I use duckduckgo
to search. It may not be a
battle I can win but there's
no need to roll over.
Interestingly, in this case adblock seems to be not able to block the masters of G..
DeleteI don't understand what you are talking about. Please explain.
ReplyDeleteThat 'Got it' phrase keeps popping up on lots of pages. It has become rather tedious. In fact when it pops up I ignore it now!
ReplyDeletePraised be the day by ending my excursion to the blogging world I shall be able to say: "Got it!!!!"
DeleteWe do get an awful lot for free nowadays though, while we used to get nothing for free (dare I say?) and yet people moan about the services they get for free, and that they happily use for free, when if they are so terrible they could just stop using them... I know that somebody pays for the things we get for free, as somebody has to. So thankyou advertisers for paying for adverts I ignore and yet which fund the things I get for free. I've never paid a penny for my blog service, or my search service, and both are wonderful. I await one of Sean's stern admonishments now... (At least I desisted from commenting on the photo post about the M-word)
ReplyDeleteOnly recently I bought a book, paid 18,90 Euro, and on page two I knew: What a wonderful book.

Anyway, they post these cookies messages now because they have to, it being the law, recently introduced to satisfy campaigners for protection of privacy actually, if I recall correctly, people who should be careful what they campaign for. Any complaints about that specific issue should be directed at the lawmakers, I think, not the (free) service-providers, or perhaps at the people who campaigned for such requirements in the first place.
ReplyDeleteLook above.
DeleteI still don't understand what it is all about.....
ReplyDeleteIt is a message that now repeatedly appears at the top of many websites, including Google's, Claude, adhering to new international legislation brought in to satisfy internet privacy campaigners that requires website operators that insert "cookie" software onto our machines if we use their services to inform us they are doing so, and to ask us if we "Got it?" ie got the message, and often asking us to click that we "Got it" to allow them to retain the evidence that we have agreed to them putting the software code on our machines. Got it? :)
DeleteThanks for explaining, Andrew. I haven't noticed it so I can't say I "Got it." But I'll keep my eyes open.
Deleteand I am sure you'll get it, regardless of whether of not you have "got it" :)
