      Thanks. I was under the impression that EU sites weren't allowed to force consent for advertising cookies.

        It is allowed if a 'reasonable priced' paid alternative is offered.

          They should be required to add a photo for each.

    Only some batches of these model numbers, though. I got an email saying mine had been recalled, but when I put in the serial number on their website, it said the batch was unaffected so mine is still safe to use.

    I heard Anker was banned from Amazon for buying reviews

        I did notice that Anker's web site is an actual store now, taking and shipping orders. It used to only link to Amazon.

      such a shame, their stuff is quite good.

        GP is incorrect, they haven't been banned from Amazon unless someone else is selling their products under their name:
