The current javascript code can be found at BT (clicking this link will NOT switch on Phorm etc it will simply show as text in your browser)
http://webwise.bt.com/includes/consu...ise/webwise.js
The current implementation sets a 2 year cookie as mentioned based on the hostname of the user, it's currently got 'checks' for the 3 ISP's and a 'TEST BLOCK' which checks for a domain 'thelathe.com' any users from this domain are assigned a 'Test User' cookie
all others are identified as BT, Virgin and TalkTalk (the good news for some VM users is that there is currently NO check for NTL or Blueyonder hosts but I imagine that would change. As mentioned by Pete aka Dephormation the current code opts you IN
Code:
function setBTWebwiseStatus(stat) {
setww = document.getElementById('setwebwise');
if (stat) {
setww.src = "http://webwise.net/webwise_status/setwebwise.php?opt=in";
setTimeout('setww.src = "http://a.webwise.net/services/OO?op=in"', 1000);
}
else {
setww.src = "http://webwise.net/webwise_status/setwebwise.php?opt=out";
setTimeout('setww.src = "http://a.webwise.net/services/OO?op=out"', 1000);
}
setTimeout('document.location.href="/index.html"', 2000);
return false;
/*
if (stat) {
createCookie(btwwCookieName, btwwCookieValue, 10);
}
else {
eraseCookie(btwwCookieName);
}
window.history.go(-1);
return false;
*/
}
Note the URL in the function above is not on SSL
Code:
Code:
<p>
<a href="#" onclick="return setBTWebwiseStatus(true);">
Switch BT Webwise ON
</a>
|
<a href="#" onclick="return setBTWebwiseStatus(false);">
Keep BT Webwise OFF for Now
</a>
</p>
