it might also be argued that consent of a web page host is satisfied in such a case because the host or publisher who makes a web page available for download from a server impliedly consents to those pages being downloaded.

however, keep in mind that 'explicit consent' ,and this is Key, IF they dont get this 'explicit consent' and the web page host were make the time to put a disclaimer on their pages forbiding interception by any such profiling elecronic device then interception is clearly unlawful.

something to consider anyway.

Home office guidance that overlooks the specifics of how Phorm works (TT/CPW get it 100%).
