Re: Embarq preference advertising
Here is an exert from »www2.embarq.com/legal/privacy.ht···=privacy
Automatically Collected Information: We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us through our Website. For example, when you visit a www.embarq.com Website, our systems automatically collect your IP address, the type of browser you use, and the Website from which your visit originated. When you browse the wireless web or use our high-speed Internet services, our systems log the websites you visit. Similarly, our wireless communications systems know when your wireless device is turned on and approximately where it is located, what device you are using, and how you are using it.
Notice how it starts out talking about their own website, and then it goes on to mention anything you do is logged.

| Here is another very interesting section:
Preference Advertising. EMBARQ may use information such as the websites you visit or online searches that you conduct to deliver or facilitate the delivery of targeted advertisements. The delivery of these advertisements will be based on anonymous surfing behavior and will not include users' names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or any other Personally Identifiable Information.
You may choose to opt out of this preference advertising service. By opting out, you will continue to receive advertisements as normal; but these advertisements will be less relevant and less useful to you. If you would like to opt out, click here.
Seems to spell it out rather clearly to me. And there is an opt-out link as well.

| So more or less, they still TRACK EVERYTHING YOU DO ON THE WEB, they just claim the opt-out keeps their extra special wonderful ads from being shown...
