Judge has denied Google’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed last year.
A lawsuit that alleges that Google Chrome tracks users even in its incognito mode has been given the go-ahead after a judge ruled against Google’s request for dismissal. A class action lawsuit, originally filed in the United States in June 2020 and seeking $5bn in damages, alleges that the browser allows websites to collect personal information about the users even when browsing in the Incognito mode. The lawsuit alleges that Google tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager and others keep collecting personal information, even when they’ve supposedly asked them not to by using the browser in the private mode.
