REFORM UK could face a legal battle from a prominent legal campaign group after being accused of "breaching voters’ data rights".
The Good Law Project, which is known for its high-profile court cases against the Westminster government, has sent a letter to the party pointing out that it has broken UK data laws. The letter marks the first formal step in legal proceedings.
It comes after a recent investigation by the Observer found that Reform UK’s website used a hidden tracking tool to collect private browsing data from visitors without asking permission. This data was then shared with Facebook for targeted advertising purposes.
In the run-up to the General Election, Nigel Farage’s party refused to tell people what data it had on them and ignored requests to delete that data, which it is required to do by law.

Poor old Doofus he does his best LOL...Are labour going to declare the £400 million offshore donation they had just prior of the last GE? |

The copy and paste he provided was legally correct re the Data Protection Act. You have to get permission to use someone's data and if they give it to you for a certain reason, which could be construed as implied consent, then you can only use that for the purpose of the business you are doing with that person. Cookies are designed for better website navigation by "maintaining state" as the CS people say. That's fine, so like you are on one page and say buy this product then you would expect the page with the shopping cart on to know you have just selected it on another page, else each page is like someone who forgets everything you tell it. If it is true they passed it onto Facebook without the permission of the owner of the data then they have committed a criminal offence. It would be a very amateurish mistake to make. We could do with a right of reply from Reform though. |

Is it not time for a review of all advertising standards ?
I am bitterly opposed to analytic cookies, the term I use is "Intrusive Advertising" and I believe it should be stopped full stop. We get absolutely plagued by advertising everywhere, it partially spoils internet browsing for example.
On TV these days, I cannot watch most commercial stations due to the amount of adverts, the length of commercial breaks, watching anything on most commercial channels is not enjoyable.
The only way around it would be to regulate the number of channels available, personaly I think ten commercial channels + the BBC is more than enough, instead of the hundreds we have now mostly putting out Tripe.
Analytic cookies on Facebook is particularly intrusive, you click on a holiday or weekend break website, and you are inundated by holiday ads everywhere you go on Facebook.

Most sites give you the option but it seems most political party websites flout that option. |

He who has not sinned can cast the first stone. All is crminality, as Sarah Ferguson said, that her father brought her up with the mantra of do what you want, but dont get caught. Crime of all sort is rife, politicians lie bare facedly, with no qualm. Its why we have a police force, laws, prisons, its an attempt to control base urges.
And failing.
Yet there are people, the rarest, who live differently, always doing whats best, never lieing, work for the benefit of others. The number is about one in a hundred, maybe 120, certainly of the male type its one in 120. Thats an interesting number because im sure that say two or 300 years ago, there would not be that many, brutality, war was rife.
It strikes me that these folk are the next step. If you met one you would think they would not crush a grape, they can be taken advantage of, used, willing to do owt for anyone, you might think they are stupid and vulnerable, they are introverted find it hard to communicate, to try would be like using a small hole to drain a dam. When young anyway.
A dam of thought and feeling, of the scale, that cannot be put into words. Piss one off and they will destroy the world, but it takes a lot, but when it happens kiss your ass goodbye.
They have already tried, it was called ww2 and the twin towers. Luther King wqas one, not gone bad. These peoplee are a resource wee all need, the chances of holding positions of power are slim, they dont seek it, but seek improving themselves, not the world because thay uderstand it, how futile it is.

So who are labour flogging off their collected data too? Like i have already stated there isnt an option on labours site to turn off cookies. Most site give you the option but it seems most political party websites flout that option. Probably companies that target the especially gullible. |

Implied consent is probably OK if the cookies are just being used for internal navigation and there is a sign saying by using this site you are happy with that. Many sites though sell data and give it away to all sorts of foreign institutions. The click box protects them completely or they would be criminals. Commercial sites are where you get the most of this. A party website wants as many to read it as possible, so the clickbox would itself reduce traffic substantially. |

I guess the troll is just going to be spamming cut and pastes with missing context and sources from here on. The total retardation of the forum whilst its Islamist mates continue to spam lies in support of Hamas/Hezbollah. |

But cookies are not being soley used for internal navigation. They track and take data from anyone who visits...And as for personal data protection that's just a joke with the infestation we now have.. I read a report just yesterday where a man stated on arsebook that mosques should be burnt down and he received a 2 year jail sentence FFS. Yet those who attacked police officers at Manchester Airport are being ignored in the hope that the incedent will be forgotten. |

One or two copied landed in my door and I make a point of using it for decorating. The ads are hilarious, e.g. protective clothing from 5G radiation is a hot seller.

Internet and Social Media intrusive advertising could be slashed by 90% and the providers of those things would still make $Billions in profit every year. The reason for the scale of intrusive advertising is greed. All The Best |
