this is another case of where they will not explain how they will achieve this to allow webmasters to block profiling effectively from private areas unless they block google and all other search engines
but an intersting case is this forum
google can index it, but it is password protected to post, do phorm profile it or not?
my bet is yes, and in profiling they will get my profile name on here "bluecar1" , my location as "kent" and i am a BT customer as it appears in the code and not in a form entry field, which is the other thing we have to trust them not to process

I cannot see how Phorm could confidently say that they would not profile 100% of
all password protected HTTP webpages. Some password protected pages I could possibly access because I still have an unexpired cookie on my PC from my last visit. Is phorm now going to read and decipher all 3rd party cookies as well before they make a decision whether to profile?
Even if Phorm/Webwise had in place a system to attempt to avoid P/W protected pages, I cannot see how it would be foolproof. Is, perhaps, 95% privacy good enough because it could not be not foolproof?
Privacy is Privacy and privacy should be 100%.
