Advertising Age reports here that a clear majority of Americans, 67%, say advertisers shouldn't be allowed to use people's web history to deliver relevant advertising on the web, according to a new Gallup poll. Reminding them that behavioural tracking helps pay for the "free" websites they visit only dampens their opposition somewhat.
Interestingly, as I found when collecting stats and reports for Digital Advertising, this figure of of roughly two-thirds seems to be the figure that keeps on emerging in both the UK and the US.
