Website Tracking Risk by State

Published by Crandall Consulting · Informational litigation intelligence · Last substantive update: October 13, 2026

Risk scores, classifications, statistics, and technical findings are informational guidelines based on observed website behavior and publicly available litigation activity, statutes, court decisions, legal commentary, and other public sources. They are not legal advice, legal opinions, or determinations of liability.

Every value in this comparison is a live database value produced by our deterministic scoring engine from tracked public sources. No state is ever labeled 'safe' — classifications range from Very High to Limited Data and reflect tracked litigation activity, statutory structure, and website-specific precedent.

All 50 States + Federal

Statistic labels: Official = government/court published; Estimated = derived with stated method; Tracked = counted in the Crandall intelligence database; Reported = claimed by a third-party source. Counts on this page are Tracked unless labeled otherwise.

Reading This Table

Risk guidelines range 0–100 and are computed deterministically from tracked litigation activity, statutory structure (all-party consent, private right of action, statutory damages), website-specific precedent, and trend. Evidence confidence reflects the depth and tier of the underlying source set. No state is ever labeled "safe" — a low score with low confidence chiefly means limited tracked data.

About This Page

Publisher: Inspection-Ready Institute, Inc. (DBA Crandall Consulting), an independent website compliance and risk consultancy. We are not a law firm and nothing on this page is legal advice.

How this content is produced: Facts are extracted from publicly available sources — court and government materials, recognized legal press, professional analysis, and industry reports — by our litigation intelligence engine, stored with full source provenance, and rendered from the database. Risk guidelines are computed by a deterministic formula, never by an AI model directly. See the full methodology.

Limitations: Counts labeled "Tracked" reflect matters identified in our source set and are not official court statistics. We report what courts decided and did not decide; we do not predict outcomes.

Corrections: If you believe anything on this page is inaccurate, contact us via the contact page and we will review the underlying sources promptly.
