NOT true.
you are fully aware from previous statements this is infact untrue, as infact blocking cookies DOES NOT permanently opt the user OUT of this Phorm system.
blocking this cookie you speak of, infact forces the Phorm installed Kit to pass the already collected and processed data past the Profiler, onward to allow the Phorm company to then collect any profits they may have with the advertisers.
you infact NEED a cookie to so called Opt-out and even then,it mearly stops the passing of the collected and processed potentially personal data from the Phorm supplyed 'profiler', flowing into the 'add picking' part of the Phorm system.
your also aware, with or without the Phorm supplyed site cookie, a users personal IP number and other potentially personal data is always flowing into the Phorm supplyed Profiler once its installed into the ISPS data center and activated (such in any trials etc).
your also fully aware after reading these sites and posts and emails etc, that infact the only way to really opt out, once this Phorm kit is installed and activated, is to send your ISP a 'data protection act notice' removing their right to send the data subjects personal data in any form to any such profiler electronic device.

very good point popper. I also think this.
In effect the final stage of the ad hitting our PC's is the least of our worry. The problem is the PROFILER that is the worst issue. WE cant do a JOT to stop it who cares on scummy advert. We can get ad blockers now to stop spamming we dont need there stupid little cookie.
Once they profile us theres the real damage which is already done. All opt out does is prevent that silly advert showing up on your pc. So all it is in my opinion is there internal AD blocker not an opt out. IT's misleading PR.
Finally I firmly believe what man can make man can undo. I know doubt will see someone make a nice programs which will interfere with there game.
Also worry is what davies says about embeded cookie. If we take is word is this going to be an embedded rootkit identifier but legal.
