TopBilled Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Why do I get this message that says TCM's site is not secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've been getting that for quite some time. It first appeared at the sign-in menu when I was using Firefox. Now it appears on the menu bar when I use Google Chrome. However, it does not appear anywhere if I use Internet Explorer ... but that browser is useless on this site.

Other sites I access with Chrome say Secure. But TCM's site does not. When I clicked for information it said 20 cookies were currently in use. So are we to assume that if TCM is using cookies (with information sold to a third party), that is why it's not secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with more expertise will jump in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought. I post on Digital Spy forums about TV series I watch. Each time I log in there, I have to click "agree" that I am aware they use cookies. But their site is secure. So I wonder why TCM's is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Emerac Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I just started here a few days ago, and I too am very surprised that the site shows up as Not Secure. That's something I'd expect from some overseas gaming site, not TCM. (I am using Chrome.) Somebody needs to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 The screen shot I put in the original post was from my laptop. This is the message I get on my desktop computer. Then if I click on that "i" with the circle around it, this pops up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Collector OH Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Short answer: end-to-end encryption costs extra Somewhat longer answer: Providing end to end encryption makes sense for protection of people's personal details. Such as online banking or shopping. Since this is annonymous (for the most part) and doesn't involve the exchange of money... My answer: This is a movie forum, where occasional movie talk is interspersed among revelers busting one gut-load of political diarrhea after another. Would you pay good money to encrypt it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I toss my cookies everyday with CCleaner. About once a week, I delete everything in my browser's history. I am not worried about someone hacking my avatar. I also delete the cookies on my computer(s) every day or two. Good idea for those who may not be doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
