How This Briefing Works
This report opens with key findings, then maps the gaps between what Dealroom discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection data and evidence underneath.
Key Findings
Pre-Consent Activity
Dealroom was observed loading and executing before user consent was obtained on 100% of sites where it was detected.
Claims vs. Observed Behavior
pending
“Unknown - requires claims extraction via CDT”
Runtime evidence shows C06/C09 patterns
What This Means For You
What To Do About It
Role-specific actions based on observed behavior
If You Use Dealroom
- →Audit what behavioral data Dealroom captures
- →Confirm consent precedes fingerprinting
- →Review data sharing: who receives the intelligence?
If You're Evaluating Dealroom
- →Test with privacy-focused browser: what tracking survives?
- →Request data inventory: what visitor attributes are collected?
- →Verify privacy policy discloses third-party intelligence use
Negotiation Leverage
- →C06 fingerprinting feeds market intelligence. Is this disclosed to visitors?
- →C09 consent bypass observed in 25% of deployments. What ensures consent-first operation?
- →Visitor data becomes investor/competitive intelligence. Does contract restrict downstream use?
Runtime Detections
BLACKOUT observed this vendor's JavaScript executing in a live browser and classified each hostile behavior using our BTI-C (Behavioral Threat Intelligence — Capability) taxonomy. These are not theoretical risks — each code below was triggered by something we watched this vendor's code actually do.

Identity stitching
Ignoring CMP signals
PII deanonymization
IOC Manifest
Indicators of compromise across 4 categories. Use for detection rules, CSP policies, or Pi-hole blocklists.
