Hi, Today I noticed a new button at the bottom of the page called "Privacy Settings", but when I click on it nothing happens and there is an error in the console. Environment: OS X High Sierra 10.13.4 (17E199) Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) Safari Version 11.1 (13605.1.33.1.2) Note: The button does not appear on Firefox Privacy Settings button Console ERROR from chrome
That's not a setting, that's the Privacy Policy and it has been there for as far as I remember. It works fine for me. The destination is this: https://www.novelupdates.com/privacy-policy/
I am not talking about the "Privacy Policy" link, I am talking about the button at the right (see screenshot), the font color on the button is also blue so it's hard to read but the gear icon is white on the button The policy link I assume you are talking about is next to ToS and the contact links
So what you meant by Privacy Setting is the gear icon at the bottom right side. Nope, not seeing it. Gotta ask those desktop users.
I don't see this button on firefox either, only chrome and safari, and it only appeared today (it was not there yesterday) Also, are you on windows or mac?
the button is new and apparently it doesn't do anything, as I didn't see any link or anything else it is supposed to do when I clicked on investigate (rightclick onto it and last option). Maybe this is the preimplementation since tony didn't have time to finish it? @Tony
I'm using Windows 10 and Chrome as my browser, so I don't think so. Anyway, I'm sure Tony already noticed, so I'll just wait for it to get fixed
it's the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the latest EU's regulation (please google it yourself as i'm still trying to understand it myself) and any sites keeping EU citizen's data of any type are required to implement it, it seems. You'll only see it if you're from EU, or used EU's ip (vpn), from what i understand. and the coding was not Tony's. it was from https://www.quantcast.com/gdpr/ (probably layered on)
I see, this seems pretty shitty, but I doubt anything will change on NU because of it, so it's fine (here, at other places it annoys the hell out of me)
perhaps one day, even games (that connects online in any way) are required to overlay it somewhere. due to microtransactions and stuff. sigh.
