    They hit Canada today ( May 25) first this morning on my office computer and now at home on my computer... No triangle, though. All I had to do was agree and it all went away!

    I got it last night, a large black box with red text. I clicked that I was happy but I don't have a triangle.
    So maybe I should be double happy....

    P.S. I have not had it yet from any other site other than one and that said.....

    And I thought 'cookies' were what we call bikkies!!! (you eat them after dunking)

    Sandra whose spectacled aura hasn't a technical mist in its body.

    I pressed the 'I'm happy' box and thankfully, it all went away.

    Now I have just had some thoughts and I am not sure that I can phrase the thoughts correctly so please bear with me.

    1. As the legislation starts to kick in and more sites give us the 'tick box' so that we can agree and tick 'yes' to the sites that we are happy with, the ones we use with regularity. Then if, in say six months, I delete all cookies, will I be left with the ones I am happy with and will all those that I don't have the faintest idea who they are, be binned?

    2. Or... will they not even be there because I did not say I was happy?

    3. So do I delete all cookies now or do I wait until I've ticked a few more 'happy boxes'?

    It does not pay for the Mut to think too hard, I get confused, I'd just like to be a 'happy doggie' with easy access to the sites I know best and regard as friendly.

    I clicked the orange box and got the green triangle. Today I got the large black box with red text, clicked that I was happy too. Now my green triangle has done a runner thank goodness. I kept catching it out of the corner of my eye.

    Having only one eye can be a blessing, Terry. It works overtime and doesn't transmit items that are viewed in corners.

    It's asked me about 3 time now - seemingly at randon times but I haven't tried to figure out why.

    Anyway, each time I click YES but BG obviously does not trust me or my answer. Doesn't trust you either Mutley.

    Me too Olliecat just as I think I am in under the wire it pops up again! Sort of triangulating my responses in different places. Just now when I logged in it didn't ask me - so am I now invisible/invincible or of completely no account. Probably the latter.
