Case overview
What this settlement is about
Three customers filed a class action complaint against Papa John’s International Inc. on April 24, 2026, in California federal court. The lawsuit alleges that Papa John’s violates California’s Invasion of Privacy Act by continuing to allow third-party companies, including Facebook, Google, and Amazon, to place tracking cookies on users’ devices even after those users explicitly opt out of non-essential cookies through the website’s cookie consent banner. The data allegedly collected includes browsing history, visit history, website interactions, user input data, demographic information, interests and preferences, shopping behaviors, device information, referring URLs, session information, user identifiers, and geolocation data. The plaintiffs claim this practice misleads consumers and prevents them from making informed decisions about their privacy.
