Advertising preferences check every time

[menousername]

Every time I visit ph i am being promoted to complete advertising preferences- which I do every time and yet it keeps happening

How to make it stop please?

[James P]

I'm getting this as well, it's becoming annoying.

[anonymous-user]

So do I. Really irritating.

I also don't get why the forum asks me to log in every single time I go to it. Can't it just remember who I am?

[AlexRS2782]

Someone posted a list of advertisers / trackers, etc, that form part of that preference list the other day - absolutely massive list. It's no wonder why most of us now run adblockers:

Edit - found it:

From - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Just had a pop-up from PH about ad preferences; Is this a list of everyone spending money with haymarket to access user data and/or sell adverts?

Even adblockers struggle to fend this lot off. Serious question - how much money would users have to contribute to switch all these dreadful adverts off for good?

[menousername]

Thats the one

Perhaps the reason I keep getting it is because I said no to all

Shame PH took what was arguably the best car classified platform, changed it and ruined it, otherwise the revenue from that would have more than covered this targeted ad nonsense

[James P]

Since PH appears to not want to comment, I've just installed an ad blocker. If the issue persists, I'll stop visiting the site on a desktop (my mobile devices were not affected).

I cannot see how this is going to drive up the price that PH can charge for adverts since the audience that actually see them will become ever smaller.
