Is P3P basically dead? What about advertisers that do not set cookies, but instead use a combination of other click stream data to create a profile? It seems that the IP address and browser information could be enough to create a profile of a user, short-lived as it would be. What about other third parties that provide embedded web content, but that content is not advertising? That embedded content basically functions the same as advertising, and provides a lot of the same capabilities for tracking a user. For example, MyBlogLog, or embedded YouTube videos.
