    The Internet search giant Google has recently agreed to pay 17 million US dollars to settle allegations by 37 states and the District of Colombia. The search giant Google have overridden the iOS Safari user’s privacy settings by placing third party cookies on this Safari browser. They have been fined with 22.5 million US dollars by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) in the year 2012.

    Google has agreed to pay $17 million settlement in Safari privacy case as Google took advantage of a loophole in Safari’s privacy settings designed to prevent placement of third-party cookies by default. By using such invisible web forms google tricked Safari into thinking that users had interacted with Google’s ads and thus allowing cookies to be placed on the device.
