Breach
22 Dec 2025 • AOL, Yahoo and IAB Transparency & Consent Framework: guce
None

**Major Data Collection Practices Revealed by Leading Digital Publishers** A recent disclosure highlights how over 1,000 companies—including 242 participating in the **IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)**—collect and process user data across websites and apps. These entities store and access device information (such as cookies) and leverage **precise geolocation data, IP addresses, browsing history, and search activity** for purposes like **analytics, personalized advertising, content measurement, and audience research**. The data collection spans multiple platforms, including **Yahoo, AOL, Engadget, In The Know, and Makers**, and tracks metrics like **visitor counts, device types (iOS/Android), browser usage, and session duration**. While aggregated and not tied to individual users, the practice raises transparency concerns, particularly given the scale of third-party involvement. Users retain the ability to **withdraw consent or adjust preferences** via "Privacy & Cookie Settings" or "Privacy Dashboard" links on these platforms. However, the disclosure underscores the **extensive reach of data-sharing networks** in digital advertising and content delivery, with implications for user privacy and regulatory compliance. The incident reflects broader industry trends in **cross-site tracking and targeted advertising**, where consent frameworks play a central role in managing data access.
