Hi Robin, Our website was recently under attack and our hosting company advised us to take measures to stop the attack and prevent future attack. We are not snooping on you, the security level we activated on the website is obviously the reason you now see “checking your browser”.

If I had been using the “wrong” browser would you have refused to show me the page?

Were you checking my viewing history to see whether I was a “suitable” person for reading your webpages?

Are you aware that this message is disturbing and sinister?

Or perhaps you were just checking my browser so as to present a version of the website that would be compatible with my software?

Although, if you just did your bit of snooping without telling me, I wouldn’t have been disturbed. In wonder if it is routine now to check up on surfers to see if they are fit to be customers?
