Of Practices Behind Promises…
This month, the New York Attorney General’s office announced the settlement of a 30-month, 10 state investigation into the privacy practices of the online advertising company Double-Click. Besides paying the states nearly half a million dollars for investigative costs, and another nearly $2 million in legal fees to settle a separate class action suit, the company is required, among other things, to disclose its online tracking activities in the privacy policies of web sites that profile their users and submit to an independent review of its practices and policies.
Smoking is Cool Again, Thanks to Amendment 35
Tobacco users in Colorado deserve a pat on the back and heartfelt thanks.
