So you sent your request a week and a half ago. It can take up to 30 days to process the request. It's usually done quicker. The office staff are on Christmas holidays at the moment. Your request will be dealt with when they return.

So opening boards.ie the other day, I got a cookie consent popup. Odd, I've been here years and this is the first time I've seen one in… years. Everything seemed to be switched to "off" - good! - but then I noticed there was a link up in the top right of the popup for "Legitimate interest" - the spurious justification used by companies to issue and track cookies anyway, because they have a "legitimate" interest in selling to me.

I clicked in to that, and apparently >200 tracking cookies for various companies would have been able to leave cookies on my PC, had I not noticed, and clicked 'Deny all'.

Hiding away the "legitimate interest" opt-out like that, and having them default to "on" is shabby practice. Please revise your policy!

boards.ie default cookie settings now include "legitimate interest" for >200 companies, unless you specifically opted out!
