Very true: blocking ads is an attempt to block the collection of identifiers in the user terminal. Blocking is a cat and mouse game, because the current tools work on the basis of predefined rules. To add to the discussion: the second bug IMHO is the dual use of identifiers for other purpuses than the delivery of the service being requested. There may be legitimate reasons to collect the identifiers, otherwise functionality may break or be unavailable. But once collected, there is an incentive to also (re)use the data for e.g. (targeted) advertisements. Rob
