Message on page is ' Because Pop-up Ads Suck These links take you directly to the ' opt out ' feature of the ad server listed. Clicking these links stop the advertising from that adserver. If you enjoy seeing pop-up ads, please do not use this service. As we find more links we will place them here. If you find something that belongs here please let us know. Add your name to the mailing list to be notified of new entries. ' I then went to one of the link and this is what it says, ' There are many programs that allow you to manually delete your cookies. In addition, DoubleClick offers consumers the opportunity to select a persistent ' blank ' or ' opt-out cookie ' to prevent information from being uniquely associated with your browser. This way, you can opt-out of DoubleClick ' s ad-serving cookies, without erasing or altering other cookies associated with your browser.

PLEASE NOTE that opting out of the adserving cookie and opting out of Pop Up ads are not the same thing! You can control many Pop Ups by using free software available on the internet or by disabling Java Script on your browser. ' Still worth the effort? Dunno... |
