I'd note that the sites listed below do not correspond to the email address used by me, so I can only assume that many, many other sites are involved.
Has anyone else received such a notification? If so, can you identify which site(s) were associated with your activity?
From the Amended Complaint[0]:
- 3 - SECOND AMENDED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
CASE NO. 3:22-CV-04792-RS
6. Oracle has tracked Mr. Katz-Lacabe’s activity on at least hundreds of
websites.
Mr. Katz-Lacabe has searched for and viewed articles related to political and
personal financial issues on numerous websites. Oracle tracking mechanisms,
including “cookies,” “pixels,” and/or javascript code, as described below at
paragraphs 41-59, were present on those websites, including, on information
and belief, at the time Mr. Katz-Lacabe accessed them. Those tracking
mechanisms transmitted to Oracle the URL data coupled with unique identifiers
that Oracle used to associate that browsing history with other data compiled
into a data profile about him. On information and belief, the bk-coretag
javascript code was present on a subset of websites at the time Mr. Katz-
Lacabe read those articles, and that code transmitted to Oracle the URLs for
the specific articles and web pages he was reading to Oracle, and also
transmitted information he entered into fields on these websites, including
but not limited to search terms, as well as add-to-cart actions, and other
communications with websites. Oracle maintains a data profile concerning
Mr. Katz-Lacabe, which Oracle provides direct access or indirect access (e.g.,
via products or services derived from the profile) to unknown third parties.
On information and belief, Oracle engaged in this conduct throughout the class
period. The websites visited by Mr. Katz-Lacabe where Oracle tracking
mechanisms have been detected include but are not limited to:
a. abcnews.com
b. citi.com
c. fivethirtyeight.com
d. govdelivery.com
e. ktla.com
f. nasdaq.com
g. nytimes.com
7. Oracle partnered with a company called PlaceIQ to obtain, compile, and
analyze hundreds of physical locations Mr. Katz-Lacabe had traveled to, and
then made that data, or information derived from that data (such as “segments”
described at paragraphs 57, 64, and 74-76 below), via products or services
derived from that profile available to unknown third parties through its Data
Marketplace.
