Misleading Cookie Settings
This website is part of a growing trend of websites I find being deliberately misleading with cookie settings. Firstly your options are continue with recommended settings ("recommended" being misleading in the first place as it's the settings that allow them to collect all your data), however if you choose the other "Manage Settings" it shows "consent" all as unticked and a few boxes of "legitimate interest" as ticked. You would think unticking these would stop them collection your data, however if you select "Partners List" at the bottom left you will find a new screen showing all their data partners. Despite unticking all the "legitimate interest" boxes on the main manage settings screen there is a list of data partners who they believe have a legitimate interest in your data. If you check the list you'll find around 390 partners they are selling your data to by claiming legitimate interest. There is no way to opt out of these all at once, instead if you want to opt out you have to individually untick all 390 boxes. However even if you do that, there is still 49 companies where you consent to data sharing with no option to untick on the right.
I would avoid this website like the plague. They are clearly up to no good, acting in a misleading manner and doing anything they can to mass collect and sell your data. There is an option under the search results in Google to "Block moneysavingcentral". I'd strongly recommend you do this to this website and any others operating such deceptive cookie policies.
Crappy way to run your business guys.
