Just idle thinking, that's all...

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

I having read about it in the first PCpro bought in months, I promptly sent an email to VM and joined the forum.

I have checked my browser security and it is set to only accept cookies form sites I vist and promptly deletes them when I close the browser.

A question then who, if anyone, puts the "tracking cookie" on my PC. If it is VM I will have to change my home page. Which will be their loss as I would not be looking at anything they had to offer.

Just one thought - this is presumably aimed at the non-technical?

I don't know about anyone else but if I showed this to my parents they probably wouldn't get beyond the first page.

Anyway of breaking it up with images/video stills/diagrams etc - because other than that it makes all the required points. IMO there is possibly too much text.

Think of it as an experiment to test the validity of 'opt in'.

Thanks Alexander. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

Cmon people, still a few books left. Your chance to stick two fingers up to K*nt and show him that people will 'opt in' to something they value...

This list is recommended background reading (should be fun then) for my Masters:
