According to a proposed class action lawsuit filed in California, "Google LLC is unlawfully using its products — ubiquitous in K-12 education — to secretly gather information about school age children, substituting the consent of the school for that of parents." The lawsuit says Google "doesn’t disclose that it embeds hidden tracking technology in its Chrome browser that creates a child’s unique digital 'fingerprint.'" This fingerprinting "allows Google to 'to track a child even when she or her school administrator has disabled cookies or is using technologies designed to block third-party cookies.'"
