CIPA Pen/Trap Update: From “Absurd Result” Arguments to Pro Se Complaints There has been a substantial increase in legal claims arising from allegations that the use of website tracking cookies and pixels violates the pen register and trap and trace device (pen/trap) provisions within the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). A July 2024 ruling by the Central District of California with respect to the use of TikTok marketing pixels has likely served as a catalyst for plaintiffs seeking to identify businesses for potential CIPA violations to serve them with complaints and demand letters. Since this July decision, there has been a flurry of noteworthy judicial rulings in California state courts, which are summarized in this alert. Businesses should understand how these CIPA claims are evolving, including CIPA claims being raised by pro se plaintiffs, and ensure they have properly mitigated their litigation risks.
