Have 2 issues wuth this really. The first is when trying to follow the link in
the eail bl sne I get the below


And the 2nd is I do not wwant my detials at lego.com linked top my Lego id th8ey
are 2 seperate acounts and need to stay that way. One is for personal use and
other is for our store.



They could easily use a lookup table in their code to match the 2 and save all
this Hassle

Sometimes people who believe they are doing something genuinely helpful do not
really take the time to think these things through.

Lookup table BL ID = 1 ;ego id = 2 - Not exactly rocket science.

Cal, they are already linked due to fingerprinting of browsers, unless you use
two browsers, one each exclusively for each task. Then, using big data, they
have other ways of linking the two. It is the world we live in, but I don't
have to like it or help make their job easier.

George Orwell and 1984 springs to mind as a reality

Everyone seems to want to know everything about everybody . We are supposed to
have GDPR to help prevent this kind of invasive behaviour.
