Privacy policy

How Class Action Tracker uses information when you browse the site.

This policy describes browsing and traffic measurement on ClassActionTracker.com. Official settlement websites linked from our pages operate separately and have their own privacy policies.

Traffic and technical information

Our hosting and delivery systems process request information such as IP address, requested page, time, browser information, and referring page when supplied by your browser. We use traffic records to understand site usage, investigate problems, and identify automated or abusive requests. IP-based location estimates may be used to summarize traffic; they are not precise device-location measurements.

Our visitor cookie

The site uses a first-party cookie called __Host-cat_vid, containing a randomly generated browser identifier. It helps distinguish visits and returning browsers in traffic reports. It is not a login credential and does not establish a person's identity.

The cookie is set to expire after 400 days and may be renewed when you visit a page. Your browser's settings and privacy protections can shorten that period. You can delete or block this cookie in your browser settings. Blocking it does not prevent you from reading settlement information, although traffic measurements may become less accurate. Deleting cookies does not delete records already held in server logs.

Our page engagement measurements

We collect our own measurements of how long a page stays visible, whether and how far it is scrolled, and which external website links are activated. These records include the page path, a random page-view identifier, our existing visitor-cookie identifier when available, IP address, approximate device category, and receipt times. We omit URL query strings and fragments, form entries, and page or link text. This does not record your screen or establish whether you read a page.

These experiment records are stored on our server for up to 90 days and viewed in our private administration tools. They are separate from Google Analytics and from ordinary hosting logs. Our engagement script does not send measurements when the browser signals Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Link navigation and reading the website do not depend on measurement succeeding.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the public website. It uses cookies and processes information such as pages viewed, referring websites, and browser and device information. Google Signals and advertising personalization signals are disabled in our Analytics tag. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can manage cookies in your browser or use Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Cloudflare and service providers

We use Cloudflare to deliver and protect the website. Cloudflare may process technical request data and provide traffic and performance analytics. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for information about its processing. Hosting and delivery providers process information as part of operating their services.

Advertising

When ads are displayed, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. You can manage personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center and learn about participating vendors' choices at YourAdChoices.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. See how Google uses information from partner sites.

Information you choose to send

If you contact us, we receive the information you provide so we can address your inquiry. The contact form sends your name, email address, subject, and message through Cloudflare to our Gmail inbox. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to check for automated submissions before sending. Contact messages are not stored in the site admin or a site database. Do not send sensitive claim documents, financial account details, or government identifiers. Submit claims only through the official administrator's channels.

Email alert signups

When you enter your email address and click the email signup button, you agree to receive weekly settlement emails from ClassActionTracker.com. You can unsubscribe at any time. We save your email address, signup date and time, IP address, our existing visitor-cookie identifier when available, browser user-agent information, the page and signup box where you signed up, and the version of the signup consent text in private storage on our server. We are collecting email addresses only and are not currently sending alerts. Signing up does not submit a settlement claim.

We keep your signup until you request its removal. We use signup details to keep a record of your request, understand how site visits lead to signups, and investigate abusive submissions. The visitor identifier can connect your signup with site activity from the same browser; it is not proof that separate signups belong to the same person. We do not create a cookie as part of signup, and we omit this identifier when your browser signals Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Short-lived, hashed connection identifiers also help limit repeated submissions. Ordinary hosting logs described above still apply. You can contact us to request removal of your signup. These addresses are not sent to an external mailing service.

After signup, this browser can remember a signup timestamp in local storage for up to 180 days so we can replace repeated forms with a subscribed message. This preference contains no email address or visitor identifier. Use the "Use another email" button or clear site storage to remove the preference; this does not unsubscribe you.

On the public website, we use Google Analytics to count when at least half of a newsletter form becomes visible, once per placement per page load. These events include the signup placement and page path, without email addresses, form entries, URL query strings, or fragments. Newsletter visibility events are not sent when your browser signals Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

Retention and questions

The cookie lifetime above describes storage in your browser, not the retention period of server logs or correspondence. Contact us with questions about information associated with your visit or inquiry. Our contact page explains the appropriate channel; claim and payment questions belong with the settlement administrator.

We may update this policy as site features change. The date below identifies the latest revision.
