Has the legislation that websites have to inform you about cookies kicked in now, then? It seems every website I've been on in the last couple of days has handily told me all about them and how they're stored.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Yes. It has.

I wonder if we're supposed to?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22397

It has, about a week ago I think.

I notice Beex doesn't comply

Wouldn't hurt. Bang a pic of the Cookie Monster up top for a couple of months. That'll sort it out.

I said technically! No TC.

Thanks though!

What's this?

I've not really looked into it, figuring I will as and when it actually becomes necessary in any practical way, but does this mean we can just ignore it? The only cookies we regularly use are Google analytics.

I'm assuming implied consent from the people already on here, and there's plenty about them in the privacy policy (which you said you read before you registered):
ucp.php?mode=privacy

Probably not quite good enough, but closeish.

Should that be discretion?

Speaking of which, I saw a Topic bar in the shop today, haven't had one of those in years! Plus Double Deckers are back in the snack cupboard at work, and i'm the only one who seems to eat them. Everyone else is some healthy fruit loving loser.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'm always munching Double Deckers. But I'm also partial to a luxury fruit mix. Also, if you're feeling mean, you could hit your fruity snack people with some scary numbers. Assuming we're talking dried fruit and nuts - nuts are very fatty and depending on the oil supermarkets insist on covering the dried fruit in, they're also really fatty.

They're good for you, certainly, but you can overdo it to the point where you'd be better off just having a Double Decker if you eat more than a couple of handfuls.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Or are we talking real fruit? I'm confused. I thought we were in the fucking snack box thing thread. What's going on?!

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed May 30, 2012 20:42

Double Deckers are the best chocolate bar. Anyone who says otherwise is a big silly-bum.

You'd prefer if they were rebranded Routemaster though.

I know, right!

It falls to me to eat them all in the office, so that they think they are popular and keep buying them. It's a chore...

I am torn between Double Decker and Toffee Crisp. It used to be DD all the way, but they changed the top deck a few years back to a lighter foam which allowed TC to gain a bit of ground.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

I'm all about Whispa Gold.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu May 31, 2012 13:04

Double Deckers are great.

I'd also like to add, Starbar and Drifter for consideration too.

My fave is still the mighty biscuit and raisen Yorkie though.

I find Yorkies are too angular. Those big chunks of chocolate practically pierce your cheeks when you're shoving them into your mouth.

So there we have it, Wispa Gold - The confectionary choice of woofters.

I haven't had a Double Decker for ages. I must fix that.

I do like a Snickers though.

Would you like me to chew it up and feed you like a hatchling?

Toblerone is worth the effort, though. Yorkies, not so much.

Mrs Grim... bought me a Toblorone back from her holiday in Spain.

She also bought a tanned version of herself, which was nice of her. Now, if only I was going home again soon

They were amazing. They've replaced those round my way with the caramel ones (which don't even have real caramel in them). A massive thumbs down from me.

Not had a caramel one... I miss chocolate...

Don't pretend you'd thought of that response. It was an unprompted flash of genius. Credit-stealer.

I almost put 'h', and decided on the capital H followed by a full stop for exactly that reason.

Credit-hogger.

The snack cupboard is pretty bare at the moment, all the fizzy pop has gone, i'm stuck drinking water of all things. No drinks, crushed Double Deckers, this is what happens when there is a 4 day weekend and a meeting in the office on a Thursday night.

Funnily enough, all the dried fruit and nuts are still left...

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:26

The office snack cupboard? Wow!

Is that paid for or do you have to put towards it?

We don't get a snack cupboard, but every month a team gets £250 to spend on beer and nibbles for an end-of-month Friday afternoon "party", which is pretty cool.

All paid for, it's next to the free beer fridge.
