I’ve seen this reference so many times, can someone explain it?

There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).

Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.

I've seen this on a few sites. They aren't even allowed to make rejecting cookies more difficult than accepting them but right now the legal people are trying to educate before they starting enforcing these rules. I expect the lawyers at the Mirror know that this is illegal but think they can get away with it.

All those things like having to "customise" your cookies to turn them all off, and "legitimate interest" is all illegal under the rules but they're trying their luck.

Loads of them are doing this now, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal.

I got robbed by the traffic police in Ukraine. This was back in like 2007.

I hate Windows for all the monetisation and privacy issues but I never really had problems with it killing my computer.

What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

Are there sites out there tracking these things? If a company didn’t do this I certainly wouldn’t be noticing.

It’s been part of VKontakte since 2010. Good riddance I guess.

Loved it back in the day.

Is it an Azure outage? Wouldn’t be the first.
