Look at the level of information given about profiling, and the size of the [YES] [NO] buttons.

Also confirms, if you delete your cookies, you get prompted to opt in or out again (ie, you CAN'T opt out entirely)

If you live in Kingston, phone BT, ask for your MAC code.

that is in NO WAY ,SHAPE OR FORM, in line with any concept of Informed consent from any legal system anywere

that is and advert for inadequate phishing protection you dont need as you already have it in your default browser and that is in its best light.

its CON trick, a SHAM......


there is not mention in any shape or form, that by clicking that yes/on link YOU are infact agreeing to something totally unrelated to the text on that page, your right to privacy, and potentially signing away your ability to profit from your unique copyrighted datastream property.

at no point do they even point out your every web click, and page visited will be collected,collated, processed, and perhaps after all that, finally anonymised and sent to a "derivative work" that you can not then finantially profit from.

that page wouldnt pass go in any court of law....but it might make you a few quid after you take them to court.

so they want you to click yes, and that gives them the right to do something totally
unrelated to the text you have read and agreed to.

fine, if thats the case , by allowing said user to click yes they agree that by placing a BT,webwise or any other DPI associated cookie in any form,on the agreeing users machine, BT also agree to pay said user £100 an hour or nearlest hour which ever is the greater, plus VAT and all delivery charges, in advance, and in cash ,delivered to the acount holders front door no later than 9am, , for their storage per single cookie on said users machine for starters, you can make your own rules up as you go, if the commercial pirates for profit can make it up, so can the paying users.
