That falls foul of PECR Regulations (regulation 6). Proud to say Dephormation's logging feature captured the cookies, and the redirections  which would provide evidence to support any complaint.
BT have since changed their www.webwise.bt.com and webwise.bt.com contact pages. They now link to a form on the bt.custhelp.com site (run by IBM in the UK).
Which - of course - if you had the right legal advice in the first place a change wouldn't be necessary.
Has anyone heard or seen the ICO lately? |
Are you saying that they fell foul of PECR but have now sorted it by moving to the IBM UK managed service? Or is your analysis that they are falling foul, even now, with this new set up?
It's absolutely shameful that they've now changed the set up after again being caught in the wrong. When oh when are they going to hold their hands up and tear the agreement with Phorm for Webwise in half?? (ok, maybe not with their hands up at the same time, unless they want to make a positive PR stunt out of it LOL)
