Hulu Sued By Insurance Company Over Privacy Violation Claims

On Wednesday, Hulu was sued by its insurer, Hartford Casualty Insurance Company, which is seeking a confirmation that it doesn’t have to provide coverage on claims that Hulu is violating consumer privacy by tracking users’ online activity with cookies and other identifiers on users’ computers.
