Re: Curious

they advertise to you by putting ads on websites that you visit. They keep track and then contact that company and work out a deal with them and put targeted ads on their site/pages.

You can block the ads but its not going to block them from getting more data from you. The same as with the Opt-out option. You opt-out of the ads but not out of the gathering of the data.

Just how do they plan to advertise to you.... I mean who uses there ISPs homepage? or via e-mail?.....
This will easily blocked. The fact that they're low enough to sell your history is another story!
