Not sure how accurate this is and how disturbing, has prompted a lot of discussion on the Eurocore forums.

Don't think they can do that without a revision of the T&C. Also getting the Adblock and NoScript extensions for Firefox should help a lot  ;D

Edit - El Reg has been keeping track of this, and from the comments section NoScript will definitely work.

Seems it stops the adverts, but doesn't block them capturing the data.
