Last week, a lawsuit filed in federal court contended that **Warner Bros Records website**, among other well-known media properties, including Disney and their music site Playlist.com, **have been secretly tracking online users**, as well as children, by installing ‘Flash cookies’ on their computers, which quicky respawn after their deletion.

The suit filed by attorneys representing a group of minors and their parents alleges that **Clearspring Technologies**, a creator of widgets that distribute targeted advertising to a number of sites, has facilitated unlawful spying. The company has been **accused of monitoring users** as they move across multiple websites and aggregating data on video-viewing information, demographics, and even when users accessed the web from different computers.
