Excerpt:

	Charter Communications is sending letters to its customers
	informing them of an "enhanced online experience" that involves
	Charter monitoring its users' searches and the websites they
	visit, and inserting targeted third-party ads based on their web
	activity. Charter, which serves nearly six million customers,
	is requiring users who want to keep their activity private to
	submit their personal information to Charter via an unencrypted
	form and download a privacy cookie that must be downloaded again
	each time a user clears his web cache or uses a different browser.
