> The Google DoubleClick service allowed online advertisers to access user information in order to send targeted advertisements to the claimants. Third parties were able to see the adverts that were sent, which contained sensitive personal data. Importantly, the claimants thought that the cookies would be blocked by the default setting on Safari and because of Google’s publicly stated position that users would have to give their consent for cookies to access their browser. This process became known as the ‘Safari Workaround’.
