Push Notifications

[DontAsk]

Why does the site keep asking to send notifications when I always tell it to never ask again?

Brave browser.

That sounds like Brave Browser isn't saving your settings for this site. Nothing to do with anything about this site itself as those settings are saved in the browser itself.

Brave browser.

Just to expand on what Richard mentioned previously.

The site sets a cookie called "xf_push_notice_dismiss", this tracks whether or not you have previously clicked "never again". I don't use Brave personally but I believe it blocks most/all cookies by default. There maybe a setting to allow this particular cookie.

That’s correct. Brave blocks everything. It’s why I can’t use brave to browse UKBF.

 

[DontAsk]

I use both Brave and Chrome across different platforms. No issues with UKBF apart from this one.

This popped up again on Brave on Android. I have it set to block only cross-site cookies, so I don't think it's blocking UKBF cookies.

Follow up question. There are a lot of trackers blocked by Brave. Are these from UKBF or advertisers?

There are a lot of trackers blocked by Brave.

What do you define as a lot?
We have trackers which form part of the site software to function, then conversion tracking pixels for several social media platform where we run our advertising and marketing. That's it, we don't use any external advertising services as we have our own ad serving software.

@Ozzy, any sort of tracking is blocked. The stats you get are only part of the picture.

My tracking stats on one of my sites shows about 40% of the visitors that the server stats knows about.

Absolutely, it needs to exist as one part to contribute as part of a larger pool to measure KPI's and assign against budgets.
