Hi,
Every time I come to the Forum, I get messages about cookies, events, money etc...
This is really annoying so is there anyway to turn it off?

They aren't pop ups. Pop ups are windows that actually "Pop up" on your screen that would often be some sort of advertisement. What you are talking about are called notices and they are there to inform users like yourself of specific events, important issues and the EU notice about cookies.Quote:

Those notices are diismissible. What browser do you use? Seems to be a problem on your end rather than Habbox.Quote:

Yeah, I worked this time when I kept log in, sorry for being a pain!Quote:

I think Google had to have a notice up too, and Microsoft but it's one of those notices you delete without really thinking - which shows how unimportant such a law is :PQuote:

For once Matt isn't to blame ;) It's just the EU trying to look busy as always. They forget their citizens aren't actually that stupid, but they may as well treat us like we are :PQuote:
