I switched all NSC's ads to a new partner yesterday after the malicious redirects etc that some people reported over the weekend with our existing setup. I've raised with them... - Ad opt-in banner is too generic, so can be confused as being not genuine. - Ad opt-in banner extends out of view...

I've now tested it on my iPad in both orientations and it works perfectly. I've dug out an old iPad Mini from the bottom of the drawer and once it's charged itself back to life I will look on there too.

"Learn More" gives you all the detail and toggle switches to determine tracking / non-tracking ads etc. You will still get ads if you opt out of everything, I suspect they'll just be shitty low-quality ones. Personally I'd rather see ads for stuff I am interested in, but each to their own.

I'm using a MacBook Air and both as a guest and a logged in user on both Safari and Chrome when I've clicked "continue to site" it goes and I've not seen it again. I've re-tested it using private / incognito sessions on both browsers and it behaves as I would expect it to.

It was fine on my phone.

It's supposed to be awful and noticeable so that people see it and act as they see fit. Once they've acted, they'll not see it again. I will check out the banner on my iPad when I get the chance and raise an issue if I agree there is one.

I can ask.

I'm told by our industry expert ad partners that it is fully IAB compliant. It certainly looks pretty much the same to me as the numerous ones I've seen across all manner of sites over the last month or so. You can turn off as many or as few of the ad-tracking options as you like with it. I...

Click “continue to site”. Until you do that, or “learn more” and set your ad preferences the banner will keep reappearing. It has to for GDPR rules. You’ll not see it again once you click “continue to site”.

Yep - it’s a standard IAB banner that sites should be displaying post-GDPR. I’d be surprised if you’ve not seen similar on other sites of late.

Gone.

Sorry - no idea what these videos are doing here - they've obviously snuck into the existing somewhat less unobtrusive ad unit. I'll strip the code off the site in a mo.

Blimey - that really is a poor quality ad - I’ve never seen anything approaching that before! I appreciate you might not want to click on it but if you could if/when you next see it and PM me the URL that would be useful in greeting it blocked.
