The Waterpark desperately needs something new it hasn't changed much since it opened a trapdoor slide as much as I dislike them would be a nice additionWent to the Water Park today. Was a bit weird going all that way and not going to the theme park but that's the way it is in the RAP era sadly.
They've made a few minor adjustments. The jacuzzi area has been painted red and renamed (think it was Lava Lagoon, unless it was already called that).
A few new water features too.
The overall temperature seemed a little cooler too. Not awful but noticeable.
Staff were great, a few went out of their way to check Bowser Jr was ok.
The place was absolutely HEAVING! They seem to have completely abandoned any capacity, it was reminiscent of a Wuhan pool party in the lazy river.

It's somewhere in https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...-practices-cma207/unfair-commercial-practicesIt's not illegal.
There are also EU laws covering it, and I'm not sure whether we have adopted them. These are sort of an extension of UTCC 1999 and Consumer Rights 2015 and more recently. So yes, it's illegal.

I think he meant tracking in terms of price tracking (being able to see history) not tracking interms of location / searches etc of people.It's somewhere in https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...-practices-cma207/unfair-commercial-practices

The link you've provided, first of all, is mostly guidance. Breach of only a few paragraphs actually count as an offence / being illegal.It's somewhere in https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...-practices-cma207/unfair-commercial-practices

The link you've provided also makes no mention of, or even suggestion of, dynamic or personalised pricing being illegal. It is also not illegal to use a person's web browsing history, provided that they have consented to be tracked, to dynamically offer them different prices.
IANAL - but I think it falls into discriminatory pricing. I'm sure there are dozens of caveats and "escapes" - e.g. to raise the price due to "increased interest" but that should apply to all customers in the same "bucket".The link you've provided, first of all, is mostly guidance.

it is an interesting one, but there may be no discrimination (although AI and these things often do have a side effect of discrimination) but if you knew that someone often brought 100 bottles of water, then using historical data then you will know they are loyal customers for that price, but if someone walked in, checked the price of water and then walked out each week you may lower the price for the person checking the price but not buying things to convince them to buy, nothing that is discriminatory by nature, but it can sometimes cause discrimination.IANAL - but I think it falls into discriminatory pricing.

I can only see one word....IANAL.
Bit of a disappointment when I discovered it only meant I am not a lawyer.

Discriminatory pricing isn't illegal, unless you're discriminating against a protected characteristic (as defined in Equality Act 2010).IANAL - but I think it falls into discriminatory pricing.

Charging someone more because they're using an iPhone is completely legal. Charging someone more because they're black, or gay, or disabled, or Christian, or a man, or a woman, etc is not legal.
