Re: Who watches the watchers ?
There is no way in hell you will stop your packets from going through their servers. This is probably implemented as a transparent HTTP proxy that you CAN NOT disable, otherwise why would you need the cookie? They could just have a list of the customers/IPs that opt-ed out, couldn't they?
Time to colocated a server in a datacenter and VPN to it for privacy.
Edit: Your right this will get silently sneaked into TOS/AUPs eventually, and you won't be able to opt-out. If you don't agree, cancel your broadband account. T1s don't gave clickstream monitoring right (only because govt won't let a Baby Bell interfere with a T1, but one of these days T1s are going to be deregulated and then baby bells will be able to collect clickstream data, since instead of the govt's TOS/AUP, your now following the baby bell's TOS/AUP). |
