A system and method for contacting the origin server from a user comprises
the steps of generating a minimal user profile for the user that is
stored at a node associated with the user, said minimal user profile
containing user designated CPI. A connection is established from the node
to an origin server using the minimal user profile, and a determination
is made if the privacy profile of the origin server meets the privacy
preferences of the user. If so, a second user profile containing a more
detailed CPI is provided to the origin server.
