This was a requirement for us to prevent spam  when requesting quotes
from partner networks. 

So your partners demand that you store and process my personal data
(anything that can be used to identify an individual) just for me to use
the site, even if I never intend on requesting any quotes?

There's also no option to use the unrestricted features without
constantly being directed to the sign-up page. How is that anything but
harvesting personal data? It's definitely annoying, if nothing else.

You may think you're doing the right thing, but if you're not explicit
about any of these requirements, no-one else has any idea why they're
being *forced* to sign-up to something. From the outside it looks like a
pretty cheeky way of building a database of persons interested in this
sort of thing

My consultation fees are sizeable, and I expect them to be settled
exclusively in single malt.
