What this record establishes

The source is a court’s tentative text mirrored by rulings.law. This record does not establish whether the court adopted or changed it at the hearing, and does not establish the current docket status. A tentative pleading decision evaluates allegations; it is not a finding that tracking occurred or that a party broke the law. This trial-court text is not binding appellate precedent.

Checks for your own systems

Inth’s technical interpretation: use this case to choose what evidence to collect in your own implementation. These checks are not instructions issued by the court or regulator.

  • Record the IP addresses, device attributes and identifiers actually transmitted to each destination.
  • Distinguish routing metadata, fingerprinting inputs and message contents in the evidence.
  • Repeat captures before a choice, after refusal and after navigation.
