Hello,

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ leads to need to click on consent.

Linux is free, linuxquestions.org shall stay free as well from ads and crappy stuffs.

Kind regards

Not sure what you are seeing or why, but hitting that page does NOT give me any "consent" screen or question.
I hope others will chime in, but if some do NOT see the problem then it might not be a problem with LQ!

Can you provide additional information about what you are doing, your ISP or access to the internet, your distribution and browser (name and version) that might help narrow down the conditions that display the issue?
Can you provide a screenshot?

I think you should attach a screenshot, Xeratul.

I don't see anything unusual. But I hardly ever have scripts or images on.

here a shot

It's clear from this pic that the user is not logged in. Logged-in users don't get ads.

The consent is now mandatory in some regions (and is only shown for those browsing from those regions).

Also, that is a legal permission confirmation, not an add.

Can we override this "legal" thing? Anyhow ... google steals constantly the user data + privacy, and this is legal too.

Oh ok, that's on a lot of web sites, or a version of it. I think that some of Europe requires it. They passed laws requiring web sites to tell you how they are using your data. Take it up with your lawmakers.

If you look at stackoverflow without scripts on you get this.

I did not mean "legal" as in "allowed by law", but legal as in required by law. In some domains sites that you provide personal data, even so much as just your real name, are REQUIRED BY LAW to get your consent. Site CAN challenge these laws in court, but
#1 legal actions cost. Often, they cost a LOT!
#2 so far most challenges have involved a lot of losing, and a loss costs even more than a win.
#3 I do not expect Jeremy to challenge any laws just for the convenience of those users who object. IT is just not that big a deal.
#4 it is your representatives (government) exercising and (possibly misguided) attempt to protect you. There are far bigger things to complain about.
