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.
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.
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…
Ahem. I was referring to "Adblock" as a class of software, not referring to one specific program (the same way that websites refer to blocking ads as "Adblock").
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.
I interpret this as a pretty clear "you aren't allowed to have secrets" message. The only secrets allowed are theirs, not yours. They're going to track everything you do.
Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.
We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can't pop up. Ads can't auto play. Ad can't be bigger than this.
We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.
I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven't even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don't have time when I'm working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.
Did anyone see that Biden's bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it...and the rich, and Republicans.
EU has so far proven to know how the internet work and has been able to properly regulate it, so for my part yes. I would be delighted to see EU regulation on ads. But I don't know anything about your government, maybe the really don't know anything about tech but the EU government surely does.
Their "joke" to shoehorn in a statement about their 11 herbs and spices doesn't even make sense. Like, it's implying you are using an ad blocker to gain secrets? What?
The overworked tech dude who had to build this page just didn't give a single shit I guess.
An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to "Start your order!" to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn't have to create an account.
That said, for convenience purposes I'll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it's ready by the time I'm driving past on my way home and pick it up.
I often feel I'm stuck in the 90's when it comes to ordering food. I like calling a restaurant, I like driving to pick it up myself, I like asking them shit about the menu over the phone.
I'm a human being, yo talk to me, don't just tell me to go to the app or the website.
And before anyone beats me to it, yeah I'm angry at that cloud.
Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!
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.
You order online for delivery to avoid COVID only to catch a computer virus from an ad. I used to watch my relatives browse to a news page and IMMEDIATELY get hit with a "MICROSOFT ERROR CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx TO FIX IT". Then I put ublock origin on their PC aaaaaaand good game ads!
No longer a secret:

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.
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.
Don't bother trying it. It's gotten really bad over the years. The chickens have gotten smaller, and now they cut the normal 9 pieces of chicken in half in order to get more out of a chicken and provide extra mechanically separated meat for all the new sandwiches. There are much better fried chicken places around.
It's not even like the kind of phenomenally bad that you have to try, it's just the most completely mediocre fried chicken you can imagine. Last couple times I tried it (in laws always order it when we visit for some reason), it's been soggy with grease, not even crispy, and all the oil stops you from really tasting anything. You might as well just slop some bread crumbs into some vegetable oil if you really want the KFC experience.
KFC in Canada is fucking atrocious. Aside from seeking out the worst staff possible, they have the worst quality food of any fast food places I've been to. Every 5 or so years I tend to forget just how bad it is, give them another chance, and something about the meal is inedible. Last time got a chicken sandwich and there was a chunk of the bun that was ultra hard and they forgot to put fucking fries in the bag, so I had a meal of a chicken patty of mostly batter and a mostly water diet Pepsi.
I've been in a kfc in Germany and was blown away how people actually eat that shit. But at the same time, people also enjoy McDonald's and burger king, so maybe it's just me
To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).
I've had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.
I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I'd sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald's or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I've tried both US and EU versions of these products)
KFC in Australia is pretty good. It's no Popeyes, but it's not bad.
I live in the USA now and while most KFCs I've been to here are pretty bad, there's one KFC near me that's strangely pretty decent. Chicken is always hot and fresh and they never make any mistakes with the order. I just wish they'd bring back the potato wedges since the fries are horrible.
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!
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.
