1 Jul 2025 Healthline Media LLCCalifornia: $1.55 million against Healthline over disclosure of illness-related article titles USA, CACookies and tracking €1.31m

Despite objections, the health portal continued to pass data to advertising partners and transmitted article titles suggestive of diagnoses for targeted advertising; the consent banner did not stop the tracking. In addition, the required contractual clauses with advertising partners were missing. The settlement was reached with the Attorney General of California.

What organisations can take from it

Test consent banners technically: if rejecting does not actually switch off tracking, that is misleading and unlawful.
