A new breed of tech firms is aiming to revolutionise consumer rights online 鈥 making us invisible to advertisers unless they pay us for our data.
Presenter Ed Butler visits London-based start up Gener8 and speaks to founder Sam Jones. Sam explains how digital marketing works 鈥 and what individuals can do to prevent information being collected 鈥 or make money from it.
