Google Caught With Hand In Safari’s Cookie Jar

Share


Google is one of four online advertising companies that have sneaked around the privacy settings in Apple’s Safari Web browser to track user activity, according to research from Stanford University graduate student Jonathan Mayer. All four surreptitiously submitted a Web form and placed trackable cookies in Safari, Mayer’s research has found. Later, The Wall Street Journal claimed Google disabled the code after being contacted by the publication. However, “the Journal mischaracterizes what happened and why,” Google spokesperson Rachel Whetstone asserted.
