That is the PERSONAL information i am talking about. I do on line banking, Pay by credit card online. I do not want ANY information what so ever being passed on by Virgin to some third party so Virgin make a swift buck. Virgin have stepped over the bloody line this time big time. what makes this stink even more is that the company they are going to use has the worst reputation any company has ever had for Spyware and Rootkit systems. This is the company that VirginMedia are going to pass on your PERSONAL information to on a daily bases for the time you are a customer of there's. So the next time you log into your bank or you pay for that flight with your credit card online think that the information on that page will be passed to a third party who has a very very very bad rep in the industry and will do with it as they see fit as long as it makes them a fist full of money |

So for example, if I went to the VM portal, and say clicked on a link to Churchill Insurance (OH YES), then I visited the BT portal, I could expect to have adverts for similar services pushed at me? ---------- Post added at 22:23 ---------- Previous post was at 22:22 ---------- Quote:

Looking at the vm website they have a specific address for privacy issues:
Attached is a letter I've just sent them. Anyone is welcome to copy or amend it. Quote:

For those people wondering how to turn it off permenantly:
I delete my cookies regularly, and I want to keep Webwise switched off. How do I do that? If you regularly delete your cookies and want to ensure that Webwise is permanently switched off, simply add [OIX.net] to the Blocked Cookies settings in your browser. They use a cookie on you machine to store you identifying number so all you need to do is permenantly reject it. Still a pita if you have more than one pc and more than one browser installed on each, especially since you need to remember to do it again after a reinstall and possibly an upgrade. (Wanders off to look at possibility of blocking domain entirely on router firewall.) Well my router has domain blocking so that was remarkably easy. |
