We Use Custom Ads popup.

[Col1948]

I got a popup that covered half the screen saying 'We Use Custom Ads' then a click box to accept, no way to close it down.
There was a click to read what it was about, it basically said it uses what I look at and post about to send me ads relating to my posts and what I had been looking at.

I shut down the site and came back on and the popup didn't show, If it had have popped up again that would be the last time I came on here, so hopefully it was some kind of glitch, anybody else had this?

Hi Perchie, where is the admin site, I'm still finding my way round, there are so many sections, I thought this was a general section, so not sure?
