andsome Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 It's better in the main today, but is still intermittently slow at changing pages. More to the point, it is still trying to download third party cookies onto your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just looked in there on my son's ticket.Quick enough to load up all their adverts and that's it. Won't move to any headings and just sits there saying waiting for PC Advisor. After a while it says Done - and nothing's damned well happened.If this has been going on for so long, why hasn't anyone sorted it out? PCA claims to be a leading computer magazine. Isn't there anyone there with any clout to say enough is enough and take their business elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 It does seem better at the moment, but I am still not happy that a computer magazine forum should be trying to plant third party cookies on peoples computers on the one hand, and advise on security on the other.

CurlyWhirly Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 but I am still not happy that a computer magazine forum should be trying to plant third party cookies on peoples computersHow do you know this andsome? What alert comes up to inform you as I have no such warnings ? :unsure: I have set Internet Explorer to block all 3rd party cookies as shown in my screenshot. Have you done the same?

andsome Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Look at the bottom right of my screen shot, taken on PCA site. There is a red warning. This is a sign that a third party cookie has been blocked. A click onto the red warning will give details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I see what you mean now andsome.I think that red warning has been there for as long as I have been a member but I may be wrong :unsure: Anyway the good news is that the tracking cookies are all blocked!
