Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

just found this on BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7559731.stm

Quote:
"Fire Eagle's features are beyond our comfort level as far as the average internet users is concerned," wrote Christian Zibreg of TGDaily.com.

The problem for privacy watchers is that privacy policies across the web are all very different and using a service through a third party could raise some real issues.
it seems someone has worked that one out, shame BT and Phorm have not

also the service requires a opt-in every 45 days

Quote:
Every 45 days, the service will send users an email to reauthorize the sharing of their location with the enabled applications.
phorm and BT could take a look at this and gets some ideas how things should be done "transparently" with a good "opt-in" and "no cookies"
