Shipspotting.com wants to show messages?

[Robert J Smith]

Thanks guys, still reluctant to click any button, might say "block" but does it?

If you are getting different ones, please also post a screen-shot.

David, the message you linked to appears (at least on my system) opening another site of Shipspotting.com after blocking the first message on the initial website.

I blocked this on both Windows 10 and macOS Mojave (in both cases using Firefox). It did not reappear on Windows 10, but it does on macOS Mojave.

Hi,

I still got the message today on Chrome and tried using adblock to get rid of it. I answered some questions and closed Chrome. I opened it after a while and when I opened Shipspotting's home page the windows showed up briefly then closed without my interaction. The situation was repeated at almost every change of pages on the site so I decided to continue my visit on Edge, another navigator.

I checked in Chrome's options and shipspotting.sendpulse was on the blocked list.

However, still no problem with Microsoft Edge, so far at least.

Yes, but only at work using Chrome. Mozilla at home is fine.

I am using Mozilla and as of today still receiving this message.

As it happens, I refreshed Firefox today and subsequently received the popup again.  Looking at its detail, it is a function of google-analytics (the system that collects data about us, linked to google-ads).  See attached and one I also received in the more common form from another site.
Reading elsewhere, the preferences are apparently stored as a cookie and/or "tracking snippet" but the popup request renews if you clear your cookies.
I expect that Henrik knows all about this - but he has not replied to me yet.

Any update yet?

Hi,

After a serious attack stopped by my antivirus, I stopped using Microsoft Edge and returned to Google Chrome. I still get the message each time I change page on Shipspotting but Adblock close it quite rapidly. Shipspotting is the only site where I have this.
