I spotted this on nodpi.org it seems when you visit the BBC you get a redirect to Omniture.
I wonder if this is covered in BBC'c privacy statement.. Time to delete the BBC cookies as soon as you leave the website.
Noticed while using the worlds slowest laptop this evening, the machine was briefly connecting to visualscience.external.bbc.co.uk.
So a traceroute revealed it was linked to visualsciences.com, which in turn seems to be a property of Omniture... a Utah based tracking company which uses behavioural targeting.
Indeed the IP address for visualscience.external.bbc.co.uk 208.77.137.146 gives the following 'whois';
OrgName: Visual Sciences
OrgID: VSL-32
Address: 13450 Sunrise Valley DR
City: Herndon
StateProv: VA
PostalCode: 20171
Country: US
Nice work BBC, thanks very much for that. Now I trust you even more. Not.
