How This Briefing Works
This dossier opens with key findings, then maps the gap between what Trafficjunky discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection evidence underneath. BLACKOUT observes runtime browser behavior and cites the regulations that address each pattern — legal determinations are your counsel's call.

Briefing
Trafficjunky deploys advertising infrastructure capturing visitor behavior across domains. BTI codes (C01 defeat device, C06 biometrics, C08 cross-domain sync, C09 consent bypass, C10 fingerprinting) indicate comprehensive surveillance. Advertising category confirms visitor data flows to ad networks where competitors access behavioral intelligence for targeting.
What This Means For You
Marketing spend builds competitor targeting infrastructure. Visitor behavioral data feeds ad networks where competitors access cross-domain profiles and intent signals derived from YOUR traffic. Legal holds 100% exposure risk from consent bypass and cross-domain tracking. Ad networks re-target visitors across publisher properties.
Risk Channel Breakdown
Signal corruption (40) from ad network-influenced visitor behavior distorts attribution. Trafficjunky captures pre-consent interactions across domains, poisoning analytics with competitor-accessible advertising intelligence.
CAC subsidization (100) represents total value transfer. Visitor behavioral data, intent signals, and cross-domain profiles feed ad networks where competitors target your audience. You pay infrastructure costs; competitors harvest targeting intelligence.
Expands attack surface
Legal tail risk (100) from GDPR/CCPA violations. Pre-consent activation, cross-domain tracking, and behavioral biometrics create regulatory exposure. Consent bypass defeats CMP controls, creating liability for data controller.
Threat Indicators
Runtime-observed (BTI-C)
Evasion infrastructure, auditor bypass
