Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Looks like BT are just as devious and untrustworthy as all the other ISP's that are in bed with Phorm.

Hi Peter N,
Thanks for having a look.
No, I can confirm that these cookies were placed there at the start of a clean session. Normally I only see cookies from Google and Neowin when I open FF; Google as it's my home page and Neowin as the cookie keeps me logged in.
To double check what I thought i was seeing, I removed "a.webwise.net", "webwise.net" and "www.webwise.net" from my blocked cookies list and, sure enough, on opening a clean browser they are back (see screen shot below), as is the info on the webwise.bt.com site telling me webwise is off.

I've never been asked by BT (or anyone else) about whether I was interested in, or wanted, this "service".
I can definitely confirm that these cookies are being placed here at the start of every browsing session. Or at least they were, as I've added them back to the blocked list (webwise.bt.com is back to saying the service is not available in my area).
Ah well, off to the complaints department, methinks; what a bunch of sneaky, lying turds they are.
