Apologies for the inconvenience. D3ath is spot-on, this is a birth pain of security improvement.

Re: privacy error

Still getting this issue - have restarted my browser, tried multiple browsers, cleared cache's etc.

Not sure why it is happening, can log into ascended on my phone and at a relatives computer - seems to just happen on mine.

Will try a restart of my machine - in a few hours (have to finish writing my Masters dissertation first!)

Re: privacy error

I see. Have you bookmarked "ascended.stargatewars.com" as the address for the game, by any chance? That would trigger the error in any browser. Apologies for the inconvenience, please update your bookmark to "http://ascended.gatewars.com" and you should be in the clear.

Good luck with the last leg! Congrats, quite the achievement.
