Meta Platforms has agreed to pay $90 million to settle a lawsuit over the company’s use of cookies to allegedly track Facebook users’ internet activity even after they had logged off from the platform. The decade-old case, filed in 2012, centered around the use of the proprietary “Like” button to track users as they visited third-party websites.
