OPINION OF THE COURT
_______________
FUENTES, Circuit Judge:
This class action arises from allegations that the
defendants, who run internet advertising businesses, placed
tracking cookies on the plaintiffs’ web browsers in
contravention of their browsers’ cookie blockers and
defendant Google’s own public statements. At issue in this
appeal is the District Court’s dismissal of each of the nine
claims brought by the plaintiffs. As follows, we will affirm in
part, vacate in part, and remand to the District Court for
additional proceedings.
