Verizon will pay the FCC a fine of $1.35 million to settle claims the company's wireless business violated customer privacy. The FCC says between 2012 and 2014, Verizon Wireless did not adequately disclose to customers how it used supercookies to gather user data. The cookies created individual tracking codes for the purposes of targeted advertising. Moreover, supercookies often overrode some consumers' decisions to prevent cookies from accessing their browsers. Verizon Wireless also agreed to a three-year consent decree from the FCC.
