What's this Admiral cookies stuff?

[neverwas]

The site has become pretty much unusable for me now. If I use my phone every time i change page I have to resubmit my cookie choices, a d on my laptop I can't even open a page, it just goes blue. What gives here?

Similar to @neverwas thread, what's going on with Sherdog?
Every time I access the site I get this Powered By Admiral shit, mobile, laptop and desktop, all have adblockers

This is what I get


And once I'm on there is a padlock constantly bottom right


Something is off right?

Dear Sherdog IT team,

Literally with every page I open, the privacy settings (for GDPR - powered by Admiral), keep popping up. I set my preferences and save & exit. But then I click on something and go to a new page and it pops up again, asking for my preferences. It does this non-stop and probably all the other European users have this same problem. I would like to ask you to take a look at it, because it makes the site unusable.

It's a GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requirement that affected users (EU and UK) give explicit consent. If you give consent as a condition you won't see the popup anymore.

Accepting the conditions doesn't remove the padlock popup.. it just endlessly reappears.

I set my preferences and save & exit, but it continues to ask for my preferences. If I have to accept all or otherwise see this popup all the time, you are indirectly forcing the users to accept to share all data. What is the use of asking for preferences then? Just because you have to due to GDPR legislation?

When someone sets their preferences, you should not continuously keep asking for consent. What is the point of asking for specific preferences then? You might as well then just say consent to all or you cannot use our service.

Get uBlock origin and it gets rid of this Admiral thing. I tried disabling JavaScript and it got rid of the Admiral pop-up but messed up Sherdog. uBlock Origin is working for me.

I usually use AdBlock Plus.

Yes, in my case it worked too. Absolutely retarded that you have to have workarounds for stuff like this.

uBlock origin definitely works if you're using windows laptop or desktop, haven't found one for android yet

 

[neverwas]

Well, this shit has really curbed my time in sherdog. Way to go, what a great idea, lockout half your users. Genius thinking right there.

You can download uBlock origin for Android but it only works for Firefox. No Bueno for Chrome.

Don't know how to get rid of it on Mac bud, but you can get rid of it on Android if you use Firefox.
