Trafficjunky

Trafficjunky operates as an advertising platform with severe signal corruption and competitive subsidization risks. Cross-domain tracking, behavioral biometrics, and consent bypass create high legal exposure. The 100% CAC subsidization score reflects visitor behavioral data feeding ad networks that enable competitor targeting.
