Dear MAGIX,as the Xara fleet of applications now heavily relies on the use of external content, accessible across the Internet, these applications are effectively web applications.
Are you following the Directive 2009/ 136/EC regarding Cookies when you present page like this: http://content.magix.net/newsfeeds/x....0&prefix=xwdp as pop-ups?
It is clearing a tracking mechanism so you can work out the who, the when and possibly the why page http://rdir.magix.net/?page=U2DLUWWF8CGC has been accessed.

I, for one would, like a "silent" mode where I have no Internet dialogue whatsoever as i can choose to Export and then publish outwith Xara altogether.

I also detest unwanted pop-ups, which i have to bat away. There is a setting already for Info pop-ups that is set to Off that you ignore.
There are gentler mechanisms to get marketing and other social flummery across.

I think your EULA needs to be reviewed.
