At the back of my mind, I am reminded that in 2006, the cookies were seeded by scripts used to display adverts in the weeks leading up to the trial. Look at how the BT site is seeding cookies for doubleclick, omniture and 2o7 with no advert in sight.

Maybe another petition is required, this time about the legality of Privacy Statements. The ICO (or someone) has a lot of work to do to get legislation up to speed.

207 is Omniture. Its either a case of Omniture dropping the cookies, or more concering that sites that are affiliated with Omniture are dropping Omniture Cookies. At the last count, I had in excess of 100 cookies resolving to 207, Omniture also Cookies are being dropped using the site name:

I am extremely concerned with this, as third-party cookies blocking are not working with Omniture - suggesting that the sites are dropping the cookies.

Now, I ask if it is the intention of Phorm to use the same method with their affiliates.
