Verizon Wireless will pay a $1.35 million fine after the company inserted undeletable ‘supercookies’ into its users’ browsing sessions without consent, reports Reuters.
Unlike regular tracking cookies, the so-called supercookies are much harder to delete and can’t be bypassed within private browsing sessions. These cookies can anonymously collect information about users’ web activity, either to be used by the company itself or sold to third-parties for targeted advertising campaigns.
