If someone links you to the aus version of the gw site it remembers this for the next time you visit the site. That's what they're talking about

I see what you are saying, though this has happened to me many times without ever clicking on a link to the non-US GW site.

Gotta say, using self-destructing cookies, GW's site is less obnoxious than steam: "where you from?" vs "OH HI IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A NEW COMPUTER, WE'LL EMAIL YOU"

It's annoying, but that's legit good safety policy for a service that will have the poo poo hacked out of it over and over. GW doesn't really need 2-step verification for its accounts.

What scale were they?

No, they were straight up sports cars. This really happened. It was like, "Much like you enjoy collecting Games Workshop brand miniatures, we enjoy collecting sports cars. Check out Andy C in this sweet Ferrari we let him drive!" It was either in a WD or some kind of fluff piece in a financial magazine back when GW was the undisputed king of all miniature games everywhere.

How in the hell do they find enough work for 500 people to do each week? I was expecting 60-100 people at the head office at the absolute maximum, with the rest of the employees belonging to the store chain.

This has me laughing because I'm one of those folks who often likes to find something they enjoy at restaurant X and then just order it every time, and now I'm imagining a restaurant "nerfing" popular dishes by making them taste worse so people will be compelled to order the newest ones.
