Charlie Lucas v. Call-On-Doc, Inc.
Summary
The court-authorized website describes a proposed settlement in Charlie Lucas v. Call-On-Doc, Inc., an Illinois state-court class action alleging that third-party tracking pixels on Call-On-Doc's web pages were contrary to certain California laws. Call-On-Doc denies wrongdoing, and the page states that the court has not decided the merits or granted final settlement approval. Potential class members include people who created accounts on or after November 7, 2023, or registered users who began booking medical appointments on or after November 7, 2021.

What This Matter May Mean for Website Operators
For operators using similar technologies, the recurring factual questions in matters like this one are whether advertising pixels transmit page URLs or hashed form data before a consent choice. Our scanner tests these behaviors empirically.
Because this matter is pending, anything reported here is procedural — allegations and interim rulings, not final determinations.
Detection of a similar technology on a website is an informational risk indicator, not a legal conclusion, and nothing in this section is legal advice.
