Dear Mr admin

Is it possible to have machine specific settings for images/avatars/sigs? I spend half my life turning off and on depending whether I'm in the office or at home.

Does the site use cookies? I assume it does (can't remember reading a stupid cookie warning that I ignore on every other site)

[WTFH]

I'm with MS on this one. Would be nice to have a text-only version.

Must do, as it persists login.

It uses a cookie to identify you, and thereby access your account settings on the server. As the cookie is required for the correct operation of the site, there's no legal requirement to notify users of it and obtain consent

If only more sites would realise that's the case. In fact, according to the ICO advice, there are hardly any circumstances under which a cookie warning is needed

You are required to tell users if you are using cookies AFAIK, doesn't CUK do that?

I suspect a custom vBulletin plugin would be able to support that, but it would be non-trivial to implement.

BZZZZT! Wrong

According to the ICO, "There is an exception for cookies that are essential to provide an online service at someone’s request (eg to remember what’s in their online basket, or to ensure security in online banking)." By logging in to CUK you are requesting the provision of those aspects of the service that are unavailable to non-logged-in users, therefore the cookie that supports that is exempt.

N.B. IANAL and this does not constitute legal advice

Ah ok didn't know that. Im suprised any site has a warning then as they could just say it's essential (to provide you with better targeted ads :-) ).
