sorry seatrotter, your wrong, no one sided opt-in (I.E just the end users) can ever work.
it HAS TO BE all partys, as in the website too, and even then it HAS to be a rock solid Walled garden, were every single one of the opted in clients both end users and website owners are all inside this waled garden, at no time can they look at the caches or logs of any users that may have temp oped out and poped outside for a quick look around, and opted back in, as then these logs and cache will include any non opted in websites outside the walled garden.....
simple walled gargen doesnt work for profit, and if it did they would not get enough victims anyway to make it viable, even if that one single model might be fully legal if they stay inside the garden and can t get out in any shape or form...
