Is Phorm's targeted ad system illegal?

I feel that really i should say something here. Just to clarify this to the general public: this isn't evil technology it just means that (through clever/innovative use of technology) when you are thinking of buying a car you will see car adverts rather than washing up liquid. Advertising is not evil, it is what pays for you to get access to all the free content. This is simply putting advertising in the context of your life rather than your website. There is no great conspiracy to acquire your bank details, we work in advertising, our wine drinking friends would look down on us ;-)
