Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
OK let me just clarify something here. The page that you request from the server is mirrored irrespective of whether or not you are opted in opted out or shaking it all about. Kent made this clear at the PIA meeting as does Dr. Richard Clayton's analysis if I remember correctly. The only difference is if you have an opt-out cookie or you have the domain blocked for cookies that data is not passed to the channel server, it still goes through the profiler.
I wouldn't pay a great deal of attention to what is on the WebWise page as it is likely to be a bunch of bs given that they are not going to explain the "technicalities" to "mere customers" because you see, if you remember correctly, we are all too stupid to understand such complex systems.
