• Web cookies and Tracking Pixels. Cookies and impression pixels remain the dominant web tracking mechanism. We ob-serve third-party cookies in 4 conversational AI services from 9 third parties, including Meta, TikTok, Twitter Analytics, and Intercom. Of those, 8 distinct cookies (e.g., _fbp , _ttp , _twpid )are transmitted alongside conversational artifacts. In the case of Grok Web, Meta Pixel alone collects the conversation ID, the chat title, the full conversation URL, the share ID, and the share URL, each linked to the user’s Meta identity by the synced _fbp

cookie. Meta documents the use of Pixel events for audience measurement and attribution, potentially aggregating them to users’ Meta accounts when one exists [38, 62].

• Email Hashes. Although often presented as privacy-preserving representations, hashed email addresses (HEMs) act as stable ID because third parties can independently compute identical hashes for known email addresses and use them for identity resolution, as pointed out by the USA Federal Trade Commission [25, 49]. Our results show that Perplexity transmits user’s HEMs to the marketing and analytics company Singular.

• Service Usernames and Account IDs. Four providers addition-ally transmit users’ usernames or account IDs on the AI services alongside conversational artifacts. Additionally, three providers share stable hash-based IDs to third parties like Intercom. Al-though we cannot determine the exact inputs used to generate these values, they remain consistent across sessions for the same account and therefore appear to function as persistent pseudony-mous IDs. For example, Mistral and Claude transmit such IDs to Intercom, while Grok sends a similar one to DoubleClick, Google Ads, and Google Search. These IDs may facilitate user identifica-tion and linkage across sessions even when direct account IDs are not disclosed.

• Cookie Syncing. We observe instances of cookie syncing [1] and server-side tracking [26] only when users accept non-essential cookies. Claude uses Segment Analytics proxied through a first-party domain (a-cdn.anthropic.com), loading a Conversion API configuration that forwards user events server-to-server from its infrastructure to eleven trackers (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, and Google Enhanced Conversions). This for-warding evades ad blockers and carries two shared IDs per event, which could enable data bridging across advertising platforms to

8Prompt like a Butterfly, Sting like a Tracker: A Privacy Analysis of Web and Mobile Conversational AI Agents Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies YYYY(X)

a single session. Similarly, Grok embeds a Google Tag Manager container configured to route events through a server-side GTM instance (sGTM). A custom event transmits the conversation URL and chat topic title server-to-server to Meta Conversions API and TikTok Events API through the sGTM container, invisible to browsers and unblockable by ad blockers. The same payload carries both Meta’s _fbp and TikTok’s _ttp cookies, enabling ID bridging between Facebook and TikTok under a single identity.

7.1 ePrivacy 指令

According to Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (" ePD ") [22], the use of cookies for analytical, advertising, or profiling purposes —a category that unequivocally includes Meta and TikTok tracking pixels or Google Analytics cookies— requires prior informed user consent. The EDPB has clarified in detail how the prohibition under Article 5(3) ePD equally extends to more modern and sophisticated technologies than cookies [21], such as (i) URL and pixel tracking, (ii) collecting unique and persistent IDs, (iii) instructing the browser (through client-side code) to send such information to a server-side API. Additionally, compliance with applicable consent requirements includes: prohibition of pre-ticked boxes, prohibition of cookie walls except for an equivalent alternative, parity between accept and reject controls, and prohibition of dark patterns leading the user to an unreflective or manipulated acceptance.

7.2 GDPR Regulation (EU) 2016/679

When AI service providers disclose chat information to third parties, both (i) the disclosure and (ii) any subsequent access by such third

parties constitute processing activities requiring their own specific transparent information and legal grounds, provided that they are not strictly necessary for the performance of the contract between the provider and the user, and that they exceed the user’s legitimate expectations. Therefore, according to the GDPR [23], conversational AI services are legally obliged essentially: (1) To inform about their processing in a clear and under-standable manner. The user’s legitimate expectations would hardly include the possibility that their conversations could be accessible to third parties such as Meta or Google. Ope-nAI, Anthropic, Perplexity and xAI use generic and ambiguous expressions to refer to the user’s “user prompts” without specif-ically citing them when informing about third-party access: "user content " (OpenAI), “ conversations ” (Anthropic), “ service interaction info ” (Perplexity) and “ user info ” (xAI). Not only the EDPB, but also the CJEU in Meta Platforms Ireland (C-757/22, paragraph 54) [13] imposes literally on the data controller the obligation to inform the data subject linking for each partic-ular processing operation (i) the breakdown of personal data processed, (ii) its purpose, and (iii) the legal basis claimed. It is significant that even when OpenAI provides this information in such a structured and linked manner, it does not reference the practices observed in this study. (2) To have a legal basis for processing. The same applies to third parties accessing this data for their own purposes. This basis cannot be, as said, the “performance of the contract” between the user and the AI provider. It is highly debatable whether training the service with user interactions is “objectively neces-sary” for the provision of the service. We must bear in mind the constant assurances from dominant companies such as OpenAI or Anthropic regarding their policy of not training models on user interactions within the enterprise tier. What is not done with corporate users can hardly be “objectively necessary” for the same processing in the free tier. It seems even more difficult to legitimize as “necessary for the provision of the service” the access to third parties to the ti-tle and/or URL of the chats together with persistent IDs and tracking pixels for purposes unrelated to the operation of the tool, using adtech-specific mechanisms. The EDPB clarified this point in its binding decision 3/2022 against Meta IE (paragraph 118) [20] by indicating that if such processing was necessary, the contract terms should provide ( mutatis mutandis ) (i) the obligation of the provider to give third parties access to infor-mation about the chats, and (ii) contractual penalties in case of non-compliance with such “obligation”, elements that do not appear in the terms and conditions. This processing could only be carried out through explicit consent (as advocated by the EDPB) or legitimate interest. Even assuming the applicability of the legitimate interest, in the cases analyzed, the mandatory prior information on (i) processing and (ii) the possibility of exercising a right of opposition is conspicuously absent. Additionally, this data processing should be covered by some exception to the prohibition of processing special data cate-gories. It is a known and widespread practice among users (and encouraged by providers) that users make inquiries about their health, psychological state, intimate matters, etc, making the results of this study even more concerning. The longitudinal processing of these conversations over a significant period al-lows the inference of all kinds of special data categories even if not specifically protected (economic capacity, appetite for financial risk, vulnerability to compulsive purchasing).

Doctrine “SRB / Scania.” The “silver bullet” used by online ser-vices in this type of scenario is typically one of the following: (a)

anonymization or (b) pseudonymization under conditions that prevent the data recipient from re-identifying users without dispro-portionate efforts in terms of time, material resources, or personnel (SRB/Scania doctrine). The first thing to clarify is that these argu-ments would only serve (assuming hypothetically that they applied) to remedy the lack of a legal basis: the obligation to inform users about third-party access in the terms imposed by the CJEU in "EDPS vs SRB" (C-413/23 P, paragraph 110) [14] could have been breached. (1) Anonymization . The robustness and effectiveness of any ano-nymization process can only be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and it would be necessary to see the actual definition of anonymization and whether what has been done is sufficient. (2) Pseudonymization / SRB-Scania doctrine . It is highly un-likely that large platforms like Meta or Google could benefit from this doctrine, given their vast personal databases and their business model, which consists precisely and unequivocally of combining different data sources to better personalize targeted advertising. It should not be forgotten that the “insignificant risk of re-identification of the data subjects” must be assessed in light of the “context, purpose, and effects” CJEU Gesamtverband Scania (C-319/22, paragraph 70) [12] of the processing carried out by the party accessing the pseudonymized data.

8 Discussion

Our findings reveal that conversational AI services expose sub-stantially richer and sensitive information than conventional web and mobile services to tracking firms. Beyond collecting persistent IDs, several providers disseminate conversation-derived artifacts that encode the content, topic, or context of user interactions to third-party tracking services. When combined with stable IDs and permissive access-control mechanisms, these disclosures create new opportunities for third parties to associate sensitive conversational data with long-term user profiles and, in some cases, directly access the referenced conversation content. Therefore, our study raises broader questions about the exposure of conversational data, the effectiveness of existing privacy controls, and the accountability mechanisms governing these disclosures.

Conversation artifact leakage to the tracking ecosystem. Our results show that conversational AI has inherited the advertising and analytics infrastructure of the web and mobile platforms, bring-ing conversation data into existing tracking pipelines. Across 6 of 9 web services and 3 of 8 mobile apps, third parties receive conversa-tion artifacts like prompts, titles, and conversation permalinks (§6.1). These disclosures often occur alongside persistent IDs, including synced advertising cookies and HEMs (§6.2), making conversations linkable to long-term and cross-platform user profiles. Beyond the privacy implications, several third-party organizations, including Google and Meta, are embedded in competing AI products, raising

11 Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies YYYY(X) Oliveira et al.

questions about the collection of conversational data, including model responses, by direct competitors.

Privacy controls offer limited protection. The privacy controls available to users have limited impact on the underlying data flows. Even when non-essential cookies are rejected, 80.8% of third-party trackers remain active. Subscription tier is similarly ineffective, with free and premium accounts interacting with largely identical third parties. More fundamentally, the strongest controls are also least accessible to the users most exposed to tracking. On the web, only ChatGPT’s paid tier supports persistent consent preferences, yet roughly 95% of ChatGPT users remain on free tiers [51], and OpenAI has announced advertising for free and low-cost users [52]. On mobile, no equivalent to web cookie-consent mechanisms exist despite exposing similar tracking infrastructure as discussed in §5.

Scope and generalizability. While our evaluation focuses on leading consumer-facing services, the leakage vectors we observe stem from embedding standard web and mobile trackers directly into conversational interfaces. Consequently, these concerns extend beyond consumer B2C services to the broader ecosystem of LLM-powered web applications, custom customer-support chatbots, and third-party AI wrappers that rely on identical web and mobile analytics pipelines.

Exposure translates into access and liability. Beyond trans-mission, we also find evidence that the disclosed content is subse-quently retrieved. Our canary-token experiments indicate that at least some shared conversation artifacts are subsequently accessed. We observe repeated retrievals of conversations shared through Grok from infrastructure distributed across 14 countries, with 65.7% of accesses originating in the United States despite the conversa-tions being conducted in the EU (§6.5), adding data-sovereignty considerations to the underlying privacy concerns. However, the significance of the exposure does not depend on whether subse-quent access is directly observed. Conversational metadata reaches trackers through structured URL parameters and permissive sharing defaults (§6.3), reflecting deliberate design rather than incidental byproducts of page rendering. As the CJEU established in Fashion ID [11] (C-40/17, paragraph 78), enabling third-party access is itself a processing decision that triggers the provider’s obligations, re-gardless of whether the data is ultimately read (§7). The exposure, and the provider’s accountability for it, therefore arise from the design itself. Tooling and methodological constraints and research challenges, discussed next, limit our full visibility into this behav-ior and other server-side accesses. Addressing the challenges we faced is non-trivial, and we hope this work motivates the research community to tackle them.

8.1 Limitations

Our study covers nine conversational AI services, a subset of a broader, rapidly growing ecosystem. While selective in breadth, we focus on services with large active user bases. We exclude enterprise and governmental tiers, which providers market with distinct data-handling commitments whose validation we leave to future work. Our findings coverage is constrained to the limitations of black-box analysis techniques, including susceptibility to dynamic-analysis evasion, and we were unable to extract traces for Gemini’s mobile app. Furthermore, our evaluation focuses on discrete interaction sessions and does not capture cumulative privacy risks unique to long-lived conversations featuring persistent multi-turn memory. Nor does it cover unstudied scenarios such as native desktop clients, voice-first interfaces, or domain-specific vertical AI tools. The presence of a third party does not by itself imply that data is transmitted under all conditions only for advertising or tracking purposes, as some SDKs offer support for operational functions such as user attribution or in-app payments. Establishing processing pur-pose requires legal and contractual analysis beyond the scope of an empirical study. Large providers can also track users through their own first-party domains and server-side tracking, consistent with disclosures in their privacy policies, and our methodology can-not distinguish such tracking from functional traffic. We therefore report the presence of well-known first-party-tracking enablers such as Google Tag Manager. Finally, we measure from a fixed set of vantage points and user profiles, and practices in other geogra-phies, account states, or user contexts may differ. Moreover, as the ecosystem is rapidly evolving and subject to frequent updates, our findings represent a point-in-time lower bound on the extent of third-party integration and PII leakage in these services.

8.2 Mitigation

To mitigate some of these risks, both web browsers and mobile operating systems provide users with privacy and tracking controls. Privacy-enhancing browsers such as Brave block ads, analytics, and tracking resources at the network level by default [60]. How-ever, these could be defeated by advanced server-side and first-party tracking techniques. Similarly, mobile operating systems implement permission models that control app access to sensitive resources such as location, contacts, microphones, cameras, and MAIDs. Plat-forms such as iOS and Android also provide mechanisms to limit ad personalization and tracking through features such as App Tracking Transparency (ATT), advertising ID reset capabilities, and privacy dashboards that expose portions of application data access behavior. Building on these foundations, recent research explores auto-mated permission management to give users meaningful control over agent data access [68], an approach that consumer AI ser-vices could adopt to extend existing user controls over third-party trackers. A complementary direction may enforce website-provided policies through targeted sandboxing of browser-using agents [37], complementing user-facing permission controls with system-level confinement. Providers are also better positioned to act, for instance by not exposing conversation permalinks publicly by default and by withholding automatically generated titles and permalinks from third parties. Some providers have begun to expose dedicated con-trols. OpenAI, for example, recently introduced marketing-cookie controls [65], although the same update also permits using cookies to promote its products on other sites. From a user perspective, available mitigations include rejecting non-essential cookies and disabling chat sharing where platforms offer such controls. Never-theless, these measures remain partial and platform-dependent.

model training, information flows, tool integrations, and interac-tions with external services [8, 36, 56, 66, 69]. Our study focuses on privacy risks of generative AI in user-facing systems and fol-lows the dissemination of conversational data itself alongside user identifiers, including prompts, conversation titles, or chat IDs. Prior work relevant to this setting falls into three areas:

Third-party LLM Apps. An emerging app ecosystem layered atop foundation models exposes external services to the model via struc-tured tool interfaces. OpenAI’s GPTs and Anthropic’s MCP-based connectors are some of the few existing LLM app platforms. Prior work characterizes LLM apps as prompt-based wrappers combined with custom data-processing API integrations [31], examining their privacy posture without focusing on third-party integration [6]. Subsequent work audits OpenAI’s GPT app ecosystem, analyzing the natural-language specifications of GPT Actions to assess the data collection practices they declare [67]. Our work takes a more fundamental scope, studying the native AI layer of consumer ser-vices, which sits at the core of LLM app marketplaces.

Browser Agents and Extensions. Commercial agentic systems such as ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet, and AI-powered browser extensions like Sider and Monica act as external agents that drive the browser on behalf of their users. Prior studies enumerate the privacy risks of browser agents driving web sessions [55, 60], and audit popular GenAI browser extensions to measure data collection, processing, and sharing practices, as well as user profiling along demographic and interest attributes [61]. A complementary line of work characterizes browser and behavioral fingerprints of browsing agents [63], and evaluates same-origin policy enforcement across agentic browsers [54]. In contrast, we study assistants embedded directly in first-party services rather than installed as extensions, reaching a far broader user base by default. For instance, ChatGPT exceeds 1B installs just on the Play Store (cf. Table 1), compared to 5M for Monica, the most popular extension studied in [61].

First-Party Website and Mobile Services. A central contribution of our work is systematically studying and characterizing data leak-age from LLM services embedded in first-party websites and mobile applications, including conversational artifacts. Prior studies have examined third-party tracking in web-based AI services [32], pri-marily focusing on identifying trackers and characterizing their conventional data collection practices. Yet this work does not fully characterize the privacy risks arising from the generation, disclo-sure, and accessibility of conversation-derived information across both web and mobile AI services, covering their consent mecha-nisms and the impact of subscription tiers on tracker’s behavior. By jointly analyzing both web and mobile clients, conversation-derived artifacts, identity-linkage mechanisms, consent configurations, sub-scription tiers, and access-control policies, our work provides the first comprehensive assessment of privacy risks in mainstream conversational AI services. To probe these risks we adopt persona-based auditing with sensitive attributes, an established paradigm to uncover deep ad-targeting behavior [39].

10 Conclusions

This paper presented the first systematic measurement of third-party tracking in consumer conversational AI, analyzing nine promi-nent assistants across web and mobile clients under different con-sent states and subscription tiers. We showed that the tracking infrastructure of the web and mobile ecosystems—tracking pixels, SDKs, persistent identifiers, and server-side forwarding—has been carried into conversational AI, exposing conversation artifacts such as prompts, generated titles, and permalinks to third parties with advertising-based business models. These disclosures frequently occur alongside persistent identifiers, including advertising IDs, hashed email addresses, and tracking cookies, enabling conversa-tions to be linked to long-term user profiles. We further found that cookie consent and subscription tier provide limited protection, while permissive sharing defaults leave conversation permalinks publicly accessible. Using canary tokens, we confirmed that shared conversations are subsequently accessed from distributed third-party infrastructure. Together, these findings highlight tensions between current practices and obligations under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, exposing broader shortcomings in consent, ac-cess control, and transparency mechanisms and underscoring the need for stronger safeguards and accountability for conversational data flows.

Ethical Considerations

This research involves observing privacy risks in widely used con-versational AI services, so we took care to act responsibly through-out the process. We did not exploit any vulnerability, access other users’ conversations, or collect personal data from real users. All tests were carried out on accounts we owned only for research purposes, using a fixed prompt we authored ourselves, and traffic was captured locally through the browser’s developer tools.

During our risk analysis, we determined that most of the issues reported in this study reflect intentional product-level practices rather than exploitable security vulnerabilities. Grok was the only service for which we identified a security concern that could be exploited by an external party, due to weak access controls on con-versation resources. This distinction guided our disclosure strategy. Our broader goal is to inform users, support regulatory oversight, and encourage providers to address the identified privacy risks and practices. Accordingly, we followed a responsible disclosure process for the exploitable security issue, providing xAI with an opportunity to investigate and remediate it prior to publication. We also notified relevant regulatory authorities of the broader privacy findings. The timeline of our disclosures was as follows:

• 23 March 2026 — We first noticed tracker activity while analyz-ing the network traffic of Perplexity and Grok.

• 6 April 2026 — We expanded the testing to cover major platforms in a systematic way, across different login states, cookie consent choices, account tiers, and privacy modes.

• 13 April 2026 — We notified our findings to the relevant Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) in the European Union and UK.

• 17 April 2026 — We notified xAI via their vulnerability disclosure email address about Grok’s conversation leaks due to their lack of access control mechanisms.

• 4 May 2026 — We released part of our findings public on the project website, LeakyLM.

• 27 May 2026 — The Spanish DPA, AEPD, cited our work request-ing to elevate the investigations for a plenary EDPB meeting to be held on June 6 2026 [3].

• 15 Aug 2026 OpenAI updated ChatGPT’s privacy policy, ex-plicitly mentioning third-party trackers; but we cannot confirm whether this action was directly influenced by of our findings.

• 10th Sept 2026 — Grok still uses publicly accessible permalinks. No official response has been received to date since our responsi-ble disclosure.

A Conversation Titles

This section provides illustrative examples of how different AI ser-vices automatically synthesize user intent to generate chat session titles. As shown in Table 7, the web implementations of ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok result in different outcomes regarding brevity, cap-italization, and information density when condensing user prompts.

D Sample data sent

We list representative samples of data transmitted during interac-tions in Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The examples illustrate the informa-tion observed in requests sent to analytics, telemetry, and advertis-ing endpoints, including conversation identifiers, titles, prompts, URLs, user identifiers, and tracking pixels. Sensitive values have been redacted for readability and privacy.

Figure 7: A single Grok conversation propagates to seven advertising and analytics trackers. Every recipient receives the same conversation identifier and the automatically gen-erated title. Meta ( _fbp ), TikTok ( _ttp ), and Twitter ( _twpid )cookies are synced across the flows—the Meta and TikTok cookies also travel server-to-server through the sGTM re-lay, invisible to ad blockers—and Google Ads additionally receives hashed user information ( em ).

Figure 9: Datadog span emitted by the Claude mobile app for a conversation-share action. The Anthropic organization, conversation, and share UUIDs travel in the resource URL alongside account identifiers; further session, view, and per-action UUIDs let the recipient stitch every gesture into the same authenticated profile. The share resource is created without explicit user interaction.

Figure 11: A shared Grok conversation propagates extra infor-mation about the conversation to Meta and TikTok advertis-ing and analytics trackers. Both recipients receives the same shared conversation identifier, the automatically generated title and the last user prompt. Meta ( _fbp ) and TikTok ( _ttp )cookies are synced across the flows. Additionally, TikTok receives a screenshot of the most recent part of the conversa-tion, as shown in Figure 12.

E Conversation Screenshots Leakage

We captured Grok’s screenshot as transmitted to TikTok when a shared conversation is accessed, as shown in Figure 11. The screen-shot captures a leaked user conversation in Grok, as it is illustrated in Figure 12.
