In reply, I can now confirm that following a search of the records, no meetings have been conducted between this Department and the specified UK Internet Service Providers, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, and BT about behavioural targeted advertising technologies within the timescale you have specified, namely 1 January 2007 to the present. Therefore we hold no documents or related material within the scope of your request for information.
