Codename: Jackass Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I believe the EU passed legislation regarding data tracking on the internet and so all of the websites, rather than serve a different version specifically for European users, just decided to start warning everybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
