CIPA Violations and Cookie Tracking: What Every Consumer Needs to Know

The California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) is becoming increasingly relevant as companies across industries use online tracking tools to capture and share consumer data.

And though you may not be familiar with this California Act, CIPA violations are far more common than you might realize.

Every time you visit a website and see a cookie pop-up, you may be agreeing—often unknowingly—to extensive data collection practices. These practices don’t just improve your browsing experience; they often allow advertisers and third parties to track your clicks, your interests, and even personal information across the internet.

Cookies, Tracking, and CIPA Violations

Third–party cookies are the backbone of online advertising, and may make it difficult for consumers to navigate the web with their privacy intact.

When you accept cookies, you may be authorizing:

• Real-time interception of your activity as you browse.
• Sharing of your data with advertisers.
• Profiling of your behavior to predict and influence your decisions.

A recent class action suit alleging CIPA violations against Conde Nast survived an attempt by Defendant Conde Nast to dismiss the case. The Judge maintained that plaintiffs allegations about injury were valid concerns for consumers if indeed the cookies and trackers enabled on sites compromised the anonymity of web-visitors by generating detailed user profiles.
