I think I can see one way around this definition but I don't want to help the opposition and I'm not a lawyer either.

Pretty good article on ZDNet:

Note there are 6 pages of text - 1 with each photo.

Edit: I see DaveTheJag beat me to that one.

I disagree. Monitoring the presence of a cookie must be classed as interception. Also all the contents of the communication is available to someone who is not the sender or the recipient IMHO.
