Nice to see PH management don’t seem particularly concerned by it.
We are concerned about the number of people saying they have the issue, but unfortunately we can't fix something that we can't reproduce.

I've tried multiple times to reproduce the error and I cannot. My iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC with browsers running Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Edge all show me the message once and then not again.

My next theory is to suggest some of you may be using private browsing mode? In that case you will always get asked every time you open a new instance of PistonHeads.

If your issue is with Safari. Goto Preferences under safari menu/privacy/'manage website data'. All the sites will load. Search 'piston'. piston heads pops up. REMOVE ALL.

Using standard chrome. Not incognito mode.

Where do I find this on iPad please?

I’ve tried ‘settings / Safari / Advanced / Website Data (load then remove pistonheads)’, and the pop-up still there.

Thanks.

Settings/safari/clear web data. It will sadly remove all your predictive sites.

Just so that Pistonheads works? I don’t think I’ll bother. It’s obviously a PH issue as no other forums are doing it!

That's obviously not what happens to the people commenting on the thread.

Yet again EU buggered a good plan up by not mandating that you can only be asked once per year what your privacy requirements are.
