Facebook cookies
Cookies are so a few years ago, now people have worked out a whole bunch of other ways as well, and internet advertising companies essentially have an archive of all your online behaviour even with blocking cookies.
In fact, it is getting to the point where if you don't want Facebook to send you targeted ads, you have to enable a cookie that indicates who you are in order for them not to target ads to you based on everything else known about you.

Well, pretty much Corbyn's first act after being elected was to go to a Solidarity with Refugees rally, but as the "not in government" party there is not a lot of power to do much in the short term.

Incidentally, if you realise the median age of all New Zealanders was 38 years in 2013, and assume there are not many under six year olds reading PA, an average in the mid-40s (where does that number come from anyway) is consistent with PA being read by a full range of the non-child NZ population.
Now I am not saying it is- I have no idea of the distribution around that figure, but an average somewhere else would make it less likely to be representative.

communications students? Things have changed a lot since I was at university.
People are just making the assumption that he is a University student, for all we know he could be at high school.
I think, looking back through the thread I resolutely gave him every opportunity to engage with comments that seemed to match what he was looking for, but those, from his actions, seem to be the ones he was least interested in replying to or engaging with.
