From 'Which' mag, a while ago. This website lets you opt out of 'online behavioural ads', the ones that follow you around...

This doesn't reduce the number of ads and if I'm going to have some I'd rather they were relevant.

I guess it's good for the paranoid, though why they'd choose to use the Internet at all, I just don't know.

How else can I keep up with what I need to be paranoid about?

Pretty much my thoughts too. Tinfoil hats aside, if I have to be subjected to advertising then I'd rather it was something I was vaguely interested in.
