WSJ: Google disregarded iPhone privacy settings

The Wall Street Journal has charged that Google, along with a number of other advertising agencies, have planted code on millions of iPhones that allows the companies to track user behavior.

Google has denied that the embedded code, or cookies, tracks users, and said that it is only activated when users opt-in to one of Google's services, such as Gmail. But the company also admitted that the code inadvertently allowed additional Google Web advertising cookies to be installed on users' phones, against users' wishes.
