(SnapChat), The Trade Desk, Inc., and AdTheorent, Inc. . . . to place and/or transmit cookies that track users’ website browsing activities and eavesdrop on users’ private communications on the [w]ebsite.
The complaint includes causes of action for invasion of privacy, wiretapping, common law fraud, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff seeks damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and punitive damages for the alleged violations.
The Class is defined in the complaint as “[a]ll persons who browsed the [w]ebsite in the State of California after opting out of the sale/sharing of their personal information in the cookies consent preferences window.”
