Verizon will allow customers to opt out of insidious tracking tool

Verizon will allow users to opt out of what’s called a “unique identifier header” or UIDH, a digital ID that’s used to track its customers’ browsing behavior.

Security researchers are voicing concerns about a “zombie cookie” exploit of the Verizon Wireless UIDH that can continue to follow users even after they’ve tried to delete it.

Verizon’s UIDH is used for targeted advertising. The company originally stated users can opt of the UIDH’s use for some purposes, but the identifier itself cannot be deleted.

The problem: Even if a user deletes tracking cookies, it’s possible for third parties to exploit the UIDH to undelete those trackers without a users’ (or even Verizon’s) consent, according toexperts and news reports. It’s called a zombie cookie.

A Verizon spokeswoman confirmed to Mashable:

Verizon takes customer privacy seriously and it is a central consideration as we develop new products and services. As the mobile advertising ecosystem evolves, and our advertising business grows, delivering solutions with best-in-class privacy protections remains our focus.

We listen to our customers and provide them the ability to opt out of our advertising programs. We have begun working to expand the opt-out to include the identifier referred to as the UIDH, and expect that to be available soon. As a reminder, Verizon never shares customer information with third parties as part of our advertising programs.

Jonathan Mayer, a lawyer and computer scientist, found that an advertising agency called Turn was using zombie cookies on Verizon customers.

Turn would then hold an “auction” for advertising space on someone’s device. This happens in milliseconds, according to ProPublica, and the highest bidder’s ad would then appear on the unaware customer’s screen once a webpage loaded. According to Turn, the company receives some 2 million requests for advertisements per second.

Presumably, other parties could use the same exploit.

“So, what’s a Verizon subscriber to do? Ad blocking would be effective, but it isn’t supported by the stock Android or iOS browsers,” Mayer wrote in a blog post about the header. “Using a VPN or other secure proxy would work, though that’s quite cumbersome. For an ordinary user, there simply is no defense.”

Following the ProPublica report, Turn announced that it would discontinue the practice.

Other companies have used so-called “supercookies” for tracking — AT&T, for example. The difference between AT&T and Verizon, though, is that the former stopped the practice after it was scrutinized by privacy experts and the press last November.

Supercookies!  That sounds so yummy!  A quick read of this linked post will give you a clear idea of just how complicated Big Data and tracking have become.  And for people who just don’t seem to care very much about their privacy, the remedies are even more confusing.
