Tarik Wildman, 65, died "peacefully" in his sleep on Sunday, according to friends, but the cause of death is unknown.

He was a vintage car fanatic and had competed in the iconic Monte Carlo Classic rally. His paternal grandfather founded the wine empire Frederick Wildman & Sons, which to this day turns over hundreds of millions of pounds a year exporting wines and champagne from France to the US. Tarik's British mother, the late Hon Corinna Cunliffe, was a celebrated fashion magazine editor and the daughter of a baron. She is pictured in three portraits hanging in the National Portrait Gallery. He was married to Susan O'Reilly, daughter of the late Sir Anthony O'Reilly - from one of Ireland's most prominent families. It is believed Tarik owned a six-bedroom, five-bathroom holiday home in the swanky La Virginia neighbourhood of Marbella, with a private pool. The Classic and Sports Car Club of Andalucia, of which Tarik was a member, posted a memorial to him online, which read: "He had just returned from organising and running his Team Schh rally in Italy which he had done in his beautiful Lancia Flamina, a car he loved. "He died peacefully in his sleep but, at this moment, the cause is not known.

Judge rejects class action for Google privacy lawsuit
June 10 (Reuters) - People who accused Google of illegally collecting their personal information, after they chose not to synchronize their Google Chrome browsers with their Google accounts, cannot sue the Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab unit as a group in a class action, a U.S. judge ruled. In a decision on Monday, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California agreed with Google that it was appropriate to address case-by-case whether millions of Chrome users understood and agreed to its data collection policies. "Inquiries relating to Google's implied consent defense will overwhelm the damages claims for all causes of action," Rogers wrote. She dismissed the proposed damages class action with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again. The judge also said Chrome users cannot seek policy changes as a group. David Straite, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, declined to comment on Tuesday. Sandi Knight, vice president of litigation at Google, in a statement said the company appreciated the decision, and that Chrome Sync has "clear privacy controls." Class actions let plaintiffs seek potentially greater recoveries at lower cost than they could in individual lawsuits. The decision followed a ruling last August by the federal appeals court in San Francisco, which said Rogers should consider whether reasonable Chrome users consented to letting Google collect their data when they browsed online. Chrome users pointed to Chrome's privacy notice, which said they "don't need to provide any personal information to use Chrome" and Google would not collect such information unless they turned on the "sync" function. Rogers had dismissed the case in December 2022. She said she oversees two other privacy cases against Mountain View, California-based Google, but the claims in those cases differed "significantly." The appeals court ruling followed Google's 2023 agreement to destroy billions of records to settle a lawsuit claiming it tracked people who thought they were browsing privately, including in Chrome's "Incognito" mode. The case is Calhoun et al v Google LLC, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 22-16993.
