I'm pretty sure this person was just looking for a reason to sue, and then tried to construct the most salacious situation to sue about.

I'm not against them suing, I think web tracking is evil, so more power to them, but I definitely feel like a lawyer helped architect the actual complaint

Well if she was just looking for any reason to sue, well congrats to her then. She stumbled across a really good one.
