| Just kill the cookies
I run analogX's "cookiewall". Have over 2k cookies listed to KILL as soon as they are dropped on my PC. If they are making money off me, it's just my IP connection, not my browsing habits.  |

| They track your browsing by intercepting every packet and seeing where it's going to/from - not using cookies. If your ISP imposes this on you, there's little you can do aside from participate in their "opt out" process (if you trust it).

Can we correctly assume that Sonic does not impose this on its customers?
If it is used to provide "ads more tailored to your interests," as the article says, would not blocking the ad sites in my router defeat their stated purpose?
