[Green Disease]

Just completing a draft letter to my MP, I can not believe the anger that is building up by writing it, trying very hard not to rant. The sheer arrogance of BT and Phorm ......ggrrrrraaaaaaarrrggh.

Reading various stuff on line, about BT possibly trying to move away from cookies option. The following is complete guess work as I have not got the technical expertise. The only way two ways I can think they could do this would be to use IP addresses, they like to keep going on about Google storing IP address, maybe BT will say that Phorm do not have access to account details, so is only the same as Google..

The other option would be for Phorm to go back to their roots, quite literally. When the user is given the web page and accepts Webwise, the little bar at the top screen of IE pops up with download file. This installs a program which says its from your ISP so you should trust it!! This program runs on the PC all the time, or is an add in for the browser. This could then for example contact phorms servers and give that PC an unused UID. This would mean that you would always update the profile assigned to that UID.

Not sure if I am correct, under the cookies system, if I delete my cookies at the end of each browsing session, then the UID is deleted, so any link to any profile they have built of me is lost. The next time I start browsing again I am given a different UID and a new profile is started?

Once my letter to my MP is done, I'll then finish the one for my ISP. I have another plan of action. I am not going to discuss it on here, but if I get any positive replies I'll pass it on.
