Evidence quality

This report is built on an incomplete visit

Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (the synthetic form-input probe stopped one or more navigations started while it ran, so the request evidence is incomplete; the in-page fingerprint observer could not attribute every event listener to the script that registered it, so the fingerprinting evidence is incomplete). Counts for the affected evidence are lower bounds; families that completed carry only their ordinary limits. The evidence receipt states the exact per-visit quality.

What this actually means

capitalone.com's retained request log includes catalogued Google domains.

Retained request rows include 2 distinct catalogued tracking-service entities; 2 of the retained service matches recorded responses across at least 13 retained cross-site domains. A catalog match identifies the service domain, not why the request occurred or what it carried. It also looks like 3 browser-fingerprinting heuristics matched.

Worth checking

Bottom line: this visit has review-worthy signals

The scan observed signals a non-expert should not have to decode from raw request tables. Some activity evidence was also incomplete: request counts are retained lower bounds.

The cards below translate the evidence into plain language. This failed or incomplete evidence is not ranked against corpus percentiles; positive signals remain visible as lower bounds. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.

at least 369 retained requests observed in one controlled visit.

Worth checking

at least 209 retained requests matched Brave Shields filter lists

at least 209 retained requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser, while loading normally.

Computed with Brave's own ad-block engine and default filter lists in classification mode: matched requests were not blocked by the scanner and remain in this report's observed request counts. Matching shows what Shields would target on this visit's traffic; an actual Shields visit blocks these and also prevents their follow-on requests, so this number is neither a measured block count nor the total effect.

The hand-curated service catalog separately matched at least 95 retained request rows in this visit.Show matched requests

Context

This Shields comparison is not conclusive

The "No blocking" visit's synthetic form-input probe stopped one or more navigations, so its request evidence is incomplete.

The raw request logs of both visits remain below for transparency, but the diff between them supports no claim about what the compared condition changed.

Worth checking

2 first-party DNS aliases matched tracking checks

Recorded DNS aliases resolve to catalogued tracking-related services: Adobe. 1 resolved target matched Brave filter lists; those matches do not identify the operators.

The scanner followed DNS CNAME chains from first-party subdomains and checked resolved targets against the service catalog and Brave filter lists. These matches do not establish a request's purpose, profiling, or an intent to conceal tracking. A filter-list match alone is not a verified service identity or proof of tracking.

{label}.capitalone.com → {label}.{label}.{label}.{label}.{label}.omtrdc.net (Adobe; catalog match) and {label}.capitalone.com → {label}.{label}.capitalonegslbex.com (Brave filter-list match; operator unverified)Open domain evidence

Context

Tracking companies the privacy policy does not appear to name

Adobe was sent requests during this visit, but the policy text matched none of the names this scan knows that company by.

Policies often disclose vendor categories rather than company names, so an unnamed vendor is a transparency gap worth reviewing, not automatically a violation. Named in the policy: Google.

Policy at https://www.capitalone.com/privacy; 0 checkable statements matched; 1 of 2 observed tracking companies named in the policy.

Context

Catalogued service domains recorded responses during this visit

Google and Adobe appeared in the request log.

A catalog match identifies a maintainer-reviewed service/domain mapping; it does not establish why an individual request occurred, what it carried, or whether profiling happened. Functional catalog labels include analytics / tag management, advertising and analytics / advertising. This scan could not identify 2 of the 13 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site. The role taxonomy assigns these additional services explicitly non-tracking operational, support, security, consent-management, or hosting roles: New Relic. The role taxonomy leaves at least one catalog category unclassified for these identified services and assigns none a tracking-related role, so they are not counted as tracking-related: Optimizely.

at least 209 retained cross-site requests across at least 13 retained third-party hosts.Show third-party requests

Context

Requests were dispatched to catalogued major-platform domains

This visit dispatched requests to catalogued domains for Google.

The domain matches identify services, not the requests' purpose, payload, or whether any profile linking occurred.

at least 79 retained requests to these platforms.Show catalog-matched requests

Context

Incomplete evidence: Google Analytics present, no remarketing signal in retained evidence before collection stopped

Google Analytics was observed, but no DoubleClick remarketing sync appeared in this visit.

Standard analytics collection was observed, without the stats.g.doubleclick.net advertising sync. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.

Google Analytics host observed; no stats.g.doubleclick.net request.Show catalog-matched requests

Worth checking

Third-party cookies were present

5 third-party cookies showed up during the visit.

The scanner observed cookie metadata whose domain crossed the scanned site's registrable-domain boundary. This report does not retain cookie values or partition keys, so it does not establish whether a cookie was a persistent identifier or could recognize a visitor across sites.

27 cookies total in this report.

Worth checking

Behavioral fingerprinting heuristics matched

At least 3 behavioral heuristics matched in retained evidence: Canvas fingerprinting heuristic, Canvas font probing heuristic and WebRTC peer-connection probing.

These heuristics look for behavior patterns such as canvas readback after drawing, repeated canvas font measurement, WebGL entropy reads, offline audio rendering, or WebRTC peer-connection setup. They are review prompts for this visit, not proof of cross-site identity tracking.

1 canvas matched; reads: canvas.toDataURL, 246 measureText calls across up to 36 fonts; measured text contents are not stored and 1 peer connection with 1 data channel, 1 offer, and 1 local description

Recorded provenance is self-reported measurement metadata, not a cryptographic attestation. The public versioned report JSON contains the retained public evidence; see the methodology for interpretation and retention limits.

This report covers what the scanner measures, not everything a site can do. 17 browser surfaces are not instrumented at all (Every page except the one that was scanned; Anything that only loads after scrolling or interaction; Why a request happened, as a causal chain; and 14 others), 3 capabilities are declined by policy, and 3 are outside what any single visit can see. Their absence from this report is not evidence that they did not occur. Read the published coverage boundary.

Detector accuracy is unmeasured. No calibration study currently publishes a precision or recall for the detectors on this page, so a detector match here is a recorded observation, not a calibrated classification. A study has been recorded for pixel-events and does not support a published rate under the current build. How detector accuracy is measured.

Approved use boundary: This report is investigative evidence that requires independent corroboration. It is not a standalone legal determination and not the sole exhibit in a legal proceeding. Recorded in this project's release manifest on .
