#Ocado's online experience for new customers is awful. I got a voucher offering 30% off a first order which should be £25 and applying the voucher only gave £5 discount.
So I'm sitting waiting for a chat op to delete my account as this is not an option in the account settings - which I believe is required by UK law.
The sham that is the #ICO are of course not enforcing consumer rights like this.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office and Ofcom are pushing for tech companies to strengthen age checks.
It's disastrous that the ICO wants to somehow 'protect children’s data' by compelling 13-18 year olds to use poorly regulated digital identification products that could put their biometric data at risk.
