Google Privacy Statement

When are those gits at Google ever going stop forcing me to read their rotten privacy statement (not that I actually do read it!)?Every week I'm blagged by a screen that forces me to read it - again! before I can proceed. I'm seriously thinking of using a different search engine.

Do you regularly clean out cookies? Maybe the consent notification is stored as a cookie.

Yes, I do clear out cookies quite frequently. So maybe this a Google ploy to stop you doing it :think:.

My browser clears cache and cookie on exit and I never get asked to read a privacy statement......Are you using Chrome as your web browser by any chance?

Using IE11. This only happens with google.co.uk. Other country-specific versions, and google.com, don't do it.

Worked it out. This bum Google nag screen - which won't let you proceed unless you comply with its instructions - is cookie-linked and with a one-week time-out. Consequently if you delete cookies every day all is fine. Also fine if you never delete the Google cookies. If however, like me, you sometimes let it go over a week before clearing cookies then up it pops again.


What's the best search engine, Google aside?

DuckDuckGo.....Even though your original problem is easily solved.

Why? You aren't forced to use it.

You can say that about anything
"Why are you complaining about the weather? You aren't forced to go outside"

Even though it's a bad analogy (I wasn't aware we got a choice on the matter???), if I don't like the weather I don't go out into it.;)....So, your point is?
