How can I opt out of chess dot come gathering and using data they have collected?

good luck I need to go to work, damn all work!

Is this now a feature? if so congratulations chess dot com, you have avoided possible litigation and a huge European fine.  Why only yesterday google got slapped with another huge fine to the tune of $5 billion!!! let me repeat that, $5 billion for allegedly monopolising their market share of search engines on android, ouch you bet that gotta hurt.

As myself and Postafi have brought this matter to your attention for your own safety we only desire a small remuneration for our services, lets say unlimited diamond membership and to be made BOSS mods above JD Cannon and David the Aussie Mod.  I am sure you will agree its a paltry price to pay for such top notch counsel and advice.

Thanks in advance - your fan Robbie.,

 dude that looks like chess24

ch ch ch chess24, say it ain’t so!

Such altruism is admirable

Squelching the troll and spam factory is exactly what mods do... 

Chess.com Be like:

You must be a capitalist

Actually I am more a kind of peasant farmer poet, political and media analyst specialising in Realpolitiks,  I don't really have any pressing material needs.

so how does the EU collect money?

you mean like from fines?  I dunno but plenty of momo has been paid by tax dodging multinationals and those who try to monopolise or fix prices or dodge taxes, just ask Microsoft and Intel (abused market dominance) Facebook (merger laws) and Apple (unpaid taxes).  You mess with the EU and rig the system they gonna getcha

But how?

never mind, i have to pack for a chess tournament.

ok good luck!

and 50 cans of tuna for you my feline friend!

haha! nom nom nom!

Yeah, I saw that.  I suspect Tim Cook has his own agenda behind his comments, but he's got a very legitimate point, too.

You play for free and you're worried about cookies? You could clear your cookies after every Internet session. I guess you could join your local chess club and not play online. I know I was not happy with what Facebook was doing, so I deleted my account.

In fairness, I think most people believe that the money comes from selling generic ads, the same way radio and TV does, and I'm sure a lot of it does.  They should have realized that companies would want to be able to target their ads and that FB would happily sell user data to do make that happen.  It probably isn't a coincidence that when you go to google you see ads for companies you happen to frequent.

I find it scary that the Government can even think about regulating the internet.
