Ad-slinger Turn caught with its hand in Verizon's 'supercookie' jar • The Register

'The advertising company claims it stopped using the Verizon tracking tools altogether in 2015 and would not have to make additional changes. '

'Crucially, Turn was accused of keeping score on folks even when they had opted out of tracking and targeted advertising services, and disabled cookies. '

'Turn, meanwhile, says it has already been in compliance with the terms of the agreement for more than a year. '

'We're told that Turn used Verizon's "supercookies" that came in the form of headers injected into every HTTP connection made through the telco's cellphone network. '

'Advertising biz Turn Inc, which allegedly illegally tracked people online, has settled with US trade watchdog the FTC.The regulator said Redwood City-based ad-server Turn stalked Verizon mobile subscribers from website to website so it could build up profiles on each of them. '
