I also followed their links "round in a circle" ........ its probably on there but well concealed in order to protect them legally (who says I'm a cynic) .

Personally, with these so called opt out options I would never use them and if I ever find any of these trackers I remove them and using the tools in Firefox they never come back.

Goose: hi:  back to geneology!

if it is of any interest to you I knew the Fair family of Birmingham who i belikeve were interconmnected to the London Fair family.   in the early 1800s i am  aware the Fair family were connected to horse dealing and the associated fairs.   part of the the Birmingham family connection settled to the Birmingham Horse Fair district which is now Bristol Street.
Also in surname interests you may have a connection to W105UK on this ad forum discussion in the Boreham family.  worth a check.  john

i relayed all info that we knew to them and they have got back to me again saying thanks for the info and they will get onto rectifying the problem straight away. I told them what the ads look like like and they think that its a branch of one of the advertising companies that they use that has installed them but they said they are sorry for any problems and they were unaware that service was being interrupted.
lets hope its sorted soon.
