I posted this as a reply in the thread called; OT - Home page issue. Thread Starter: GypsyBaron.
I feel I should open my own thread so all you boys and girls should be made aware.
Following the thread: 'Looks like HBO is thinking another miniseries' I ended up with the following trying to put cookies on my PC. Note especially 'Complex Media Network' and 'ZergNet', neither of which have a privacy policy, (as if the others follow theirs).. The ones which collect your telephone number and personally identifiable information just about explains their philosophy!
Please read the shyte they put out for their raison d'etre... Pur bull****-management speak.
