It's nice that the ICO think opt-out cookies are the way to go but it still doesn't deal with RIPA. It is illegal to intercept (in the world and purposes of BTPhorm) my communications. Intercepting my communications to find out whether or not I have given you permission is still an illegal interception. End of.

If ISP's and Phorm wish to continue there must be two distinct paths through their system. Path one - as is, no interception. Path two - opted in (proxy changed on my machine?) Phorm wire-tap.

"we will check your cookie", "We promise not to look" is still an illegal interception of communication.
