This report has a reviewed clarification

SBL-CORR-2026-001: The historical input-probe disclosure overstates coverage. Unload-only transmissions were not reliably recorded. Focus and blur handlers could run, and per-field failures were not fully counted. These reports cannot establish absence of input transmission outside their retained observations.

Evidence quality

This report is built on an incomplete visit

Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (fingerprinting evidence was censored before completion — the in-page fingerprint observer did not finish (recorded loss count: 1); request evidence was censored before completion — the producer recorded an additional collection loss (recorded loss count: 1)). 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.

Scan report ready for capitalone.com: 394 recorded request rows.

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 detector evidence was incomplete; each affected detector card states its own retained or unavailable scope, while completed request, cookie, and storage measurements keep their recorded exactness.

The cards below translate the evidence into plain language; severity reflects fixed reference thresholds, not measured population percentiles. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.

394 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Worth checking

174 of 336 requests the engine evaluated matched Brave Shields filter lists

174 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 98 request rows in this visit.Show matched requests

Context

This GPC comparison supports no comparable delta

The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. and The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.

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.

2 disqualifying conditions named by the report's claim policy.

Worth checking

1 first-party DNS alias matched tracking checks

Recorded DNS aliases resolve to catalogued tracking-related services: Adobe.

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.

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 12 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.

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.

89 requests to these platforms.Show catalog-matched requests

Nothing observed

Google Analytics present, no remarketing signal

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.

Context

Third-party cookies were present

3 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.

39 cookies total in this report.Modest third-party cookies count.

Context

Incomplete evidence: No fingerprint-like API calls observed in retained evidence before collection stopped

The scan did not observe the instrumented high-entropy browser APIs.

This is an observation layer, not proof that fingerprinting is impossible. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.

Retained incomplete evidence includes 0 API event records; no exact API-family total is available.

GPC Comparison

GPC off and GPC on: two visits, no comparable metric delta

GPC off: 14,831msGPC on: 8,533ms
No metric deltas are comparable across these two visits, so none are shown.
  • Request, cookie, and storage deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.
  • Catalog-matched request and entity deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.
  • Other detector and causal-path deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. The fingerprint-heuristics detector's status differed between the two visits, so their numbers measure different things. The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals. The baseline visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.
  • The Shields-number delta (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.
  • Fingerprinting deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the fingerprint measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.
  • Ad-pixel deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the pixel measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.

Measurement limits

8 conditions affect how this evidence reads

Both visits

  • Each visit in this report is one automated, headless Chromium visit from a fixed en-US / UTC profile, with no scrolling, clicking, or consent interaction. Sites can behave differently for real users, browsers, regions, accounts, or network locations.
  • Counts are a lower bound: trackers that load only after interaction or consent are not observed; Service Workers are blocked, and Web Worker or WebSocket traffic may be incomplete. Service labels use a US-biased hand-curated catalog, so regional services may be under-labeled. Cookie and storage figures are an end-of-visit snapshot, with storage keys read from the top frame only.
  • The in-page fingerprint observer could not read one or more frames, so fingerprint-like API calls and heuristics for this visit are incomplete.
  • This scan typed a synthetic test value into 2 form fields (never submitting the form) to test whether typed input is captured and sent to third parties. The value is synthetic and is not stored. Requests the page sent during and after this typing, including any unload beacons, are part of the recorded request log and counts.
  • Resolved 1 first-party subdomain that is a CNAME alias for a third-party tracker (CNAME cloaking), which request-URL matching alone would miss.
  • Read the site's privacy policy (https://www.capitalone.com/privacy) and compared its text against this visit's observed behavior. Policy checks are an automated text match with the matched sentences quoted, not a legal reading.

GPC off visit only

  • The page did not reach network idle before the scan window ended.

GPC on visit only

  • The scan blocked or could not verify one or more Web Workers while applying the simulated GPC signal; request evidence may be incomplete.

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. 16 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 13 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. 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 .
