By 鈥榩ersonalisation鈥� we mean:
- Recommending things we think you鈥檒l like
- Remembering how far through a programme you are (so you can pick up where you left off)
- Giving you notifications about things you enjoy.
Before we can do that, we need to understand how you use the 麻豆社, by looking at things like the articles you read and the programmes you watch.
How to turn off personalisation
You can turn off 鈥楢llow personalisation鈥� in your.
What happens if you turn off personalisation?
- You will not get any personal recommendations based on things you鈥檝e watched and listened to.
- You will not be able to sign up for the 麻豆社's personalised email newsletter. If you鈥檝e already signed up, you will automatically stop receiving them.
- We will not remember how far through a programme or video clip you are. So you won鈥檛 be able to pause shows and later pick up where you left off.
- You鈥檒l still be able 鈥榓dd鈥� things for later, get notifications, comment on stories, and vote on shows like Strictly Come Dancing.
How to make sure your personalisation setting is updated everywhere
When you change your personalisation setting, it鈥檚 updated straight away on the web browser you鈥檙e using. But it won鈥檛 be updated immediately on any other browsers, devices or 麻豆社 apps you use. So once you鈥檝e changed the setting in one browser鈥�
- On any other web browsers you use, including on different devices, you鈥檒l need to sign out and sign back in again
- On any 麻豆社 apps on your phone or tablet, you鈥檒l need to sign out and sign back in again, then fully close the app and open it again.
