Attention Griff

[griff]

Sonicboom.

There are two immediate things that I can do, in advance of any move to a new board, were that to happen.

1. In advance of such a decision and to stop you having any future problems with cookies on here I could terminate your account. Problem solved.

2. Less radically I can, and therefore do, insist that on every visit to this board, and to any future board(s) for which I may be wholly our partly responsible, you refuse cookies. That is on EVERY visit. No excuses will be accepted. If you call foul or claim error then I revert to 1.

Choose.

All you have to do is the same as everyone responsible for a messageboard, follow the law. That is not cos I want you to, its that you have to thats how laws work. And if the law is broken the potential consequeneeces fall on the law breaker not the person poiting it out. I am trying to help you not have those conseqences on you
The law allows me to chose if I want cookies or not and to change my mind at any time and I reserve that right.
You can ofcourse ban me but if you did so because I was asking for my legal rights then im not sure what message that would send to any new potential members.
But I do not want to be banned and I am just trying to help (and protect my rights not to be tracked by cookies)

To protect your rights not to be tracked by cookies - see above.

Griff i think you are failing to understand that whilst you can set up your own website rules they still have to follow the law of the UK.
To protect yourself I see this: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations...s/#userconsent
The rules you have come up with above are not fully complianet with UK law

I think what you are failing to understand sonicboom is that you was sussed out as a troll years ago so you have become boring and predictable now,isnt it around this time that you go off in a massive sulk and start throwing new threads here there and everything along the lines of Griff Out so that you can get clipped,I can only come to the conclusion that you eventually do this because it becomes clear even to you that your posts are unbelievabley tedious and need to come back under a new username

I know. You started the passive-aggressive rubbish so I responded in kind.

Anyway. Can consent be withdrawn?

Yes. Under GDPR and similar laws, cookie consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and revocable. This means:
• Users must be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
• Withdrawing consent must not prevent access to the core functions of the website (unless cookies are strictly necessary).


How can a user withdraw consent?

The exact method depends on the website, but generally users can do so in one or more of the following ways:
1. Cookie banner or settings icon:
• Many sites include a persistent “cookie settings” or “privacy settings” link or icon (often in the footer or a floating tab).
• Users can click it to re-open the cookie preference center and toggle off non-essential cookies.
2. Privacy policy page:
• Some websites include detailed instructions or a link to manage cookies within their privacy policy.
3. Browser settings:
• Users can clear cookies from their browser manually, though this doesn’t technically count as “withdrawing consent” under GDPR unless the site provides a dedicated mechanism.

So, as long as any new site allows users to withdraw cookie consent themselves, they are compliant, and (site dependent) that could be my responsibility. Here the responsibility lies with DSG.

Thank you Griff. This is the information you should have provided when I first asked about withdrawing my consent rather than "no, tough"
