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!

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.
