Hulu Privacy Fail

Hulu has recently come under fire for illegally sharing users' viewing history with Facebook and other companies.  Because of this, I decided to check my account options to see what kind of privacy concerns I might have.  I was disappointed to learn that Hulu is tracking the websites that I visit.  I was even more disappointed that they have an Opt-Out rather than an Opt-In approach to this intrusion of your privacy.  Reading the description of their policy, I am not even sure if I opt out now that I will be 100% out as they mention something about storing cookies on my machine.  Does that mean I need to opt out on every computer that I use?
