I am a huge fan of your blog and really love your insight. After a year now, is there still no other levers other than trust & contracts? I would hope that audits now would be easier to apply...

Personal data like age,sex and level of education could be easily captured but our view is using it would be a serior breach of EU Data Protection Law (as is making it available). We were providing referrer reports for advertisers here on network buys but they now bury their ads in iframes. As you say (and google clearly do) it's not hard to decode most adserver urls.
