Is Your Mental Health for Sale?
summary
136 popular mental‑health pages across France, Germany and the UK are scanned with WebXRay and HTTP Toolkit; 97.78% of pages contact third parties and many set cookies placed before consent (average cookies per site notably high). Programmatic ad vendors and data brokers (Quantcast/Oracle/Experian/AppNexus/LiveRamp) appear frequently. In a subset of depression tests researchers find answers leaked in URLs and cleartext POSTs to third parties (NHS initially sent scores to Adobe), and some sites remediate after disclosure.
