<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24588746, member: 27832&quot;]It&#039;s a link to German eBay (.ebay.de), and EU companies have to follow the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2018/jul/05/what-should-i-do-about-all-the-gdpr-pop-ups-on-websites" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2018/jul/05/what-should-i-do-about-all-the-gdpr-pop-ups-on-websites" rel="nofollow">GDPR</a>, which among other things requires Web sites to actively request your permission to let them keep track of where you are on the site. Like California&#039;s laws about labeling &quot;substances known to cause cancer&quot;, the result is a lot of noise that everyone quickly learns to dismiss without reading -- in other words, the opposite of what the legislation is <i>supposed</i> to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: the popup and the German language isn&#039;t something to worry about, but the item itself is still bogus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
