If you look on the left hand side it should say:-

at this time."


The opt-in and opt-out are on separate pages


OPT-IN = http://www.webwise.com/privacy/opt/in.html

OPT-OUT = http://www.webwise.com/privacy/opt/out.html

Bypassing the homepage and using either these links works for me (I'm not with one of the Phorm Three)

The opt-out link deletes the UID cookie and creates the opt-out cookie "OPTED_OUT=YES".



I believe they "fixed" the opt-in/opt-out script to check referrer a few months after I mentioned the remote opt-in issue over on ISPReview - So directly accessing the actual opt-in url http://a.webwise.net/services/OO?op=in without spoofing referrer will give an error - I guess people who block referer wouldn't want to opt-out anyway.

Ah, I think I know what I did. I went back to the same page and the link is actually "keep webwise off for now" not "turn webwise off". My bad. Going to the opt out page and clicking opt out does remove the uid cookie and set an opted out cookie.
