    What? Why is this this a think.

    Anyway use ublock origin with updated block lists and this likely won’t happen.

    It’s probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

          Probably like 70/30 KFC/user?

          Yes they want AS MUCH of your money as fast as possible… but we do want to give them money as fast as possible too.

          Disconnect obviously comes at the amount and the margin. They want you to max your credit card on their soda, we want the most satisfying assorted selection with an auto-applied 100% off coupon.

          There’s somewhere in the middle there. They can telemetrize their site into it taking just a few taps for you to buy their higher margin combo meals. Their deals, they can hide as best they can without them being impossible to find for those inclined (price-sensitive buyers who open the app with discounts on their mind).

          After add-to-cart, it’s in their interests to optimize checkout as best they can… well, with a side of last-minute upsells of course.

          Here’s a question: would opt-out first party telemetry be a decent status quo? If you’re not privacy conscious (certainly not enough to pay cash in person), you don’t go to settings to reject trackers… but you still get to benefit from the average user being spied on just a little by internal teams & consultants to improve site/app flows. Don’t think I’m 100% anti-tracker in any case. (I’m definitely medium privacy-conscious as well as price-conscious, so I look for those opt-outs and coupons :) )

      Yeah, this warning is pretty clear about that ironically. You aren’t allowed to have secrets, only they are. It’s pretty on the nose, but I guess it could be misunderstood. That’s probably how it got there. The person told to create this wanted to give a warning, but they couldn’t straight up say it.

    Very important has to be the thing that I’m doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.

    You heard KFC no secrets allowed from them and from you. Open the cookie wall you must be tracked.

    Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.

      They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

        So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…

    What you really want is an air fryer! Dude it’s actually such a good kitchen tool for cooking. It’s slower than microwaving but you get more crisp fries or other food and less burnt fries or other food than with any other method.

    Man, what is it with KFC and their “security” staff, I think I’ve read it even has issues when it detects root or something, no one wants to steal your chicken bruh!

      They probably aren’t showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.

    Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.

    Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the “right” thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?

      They’re kinda telling on themselves, ‘no secrets’ what does watching an add have to do with secrets, unless they want you to have no secrets from them, and give you all a your data. Then that sentence makes sense. That sentence has some real twist / projection / gaslighty vibes. Why do corporations feel like my abusive ex.

    Nice, they’re worried about losing ad money and analytics over losing more money by selling what their whole business is about.
