Google has agreed to settle the lawsuit, putting the scheduled Feb. 5, 2024 trial on hold.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and the preliminary agreement is subject to court approval.
Plaintiffs argued that Google's tracking persisted despite users activating privacy features like "Incognito" mode.
The lawsuit claimed that Google's data collection practices violated federal wiretapping and California privacy laws.
Filed in 2020, the lawsuit aimed to represent "millions" of Google users from June 1, 2016.
Plaintiffs sought damages of at least $5,000 per user for the alleged privacy law violations.
In August, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied Google's attempt to dismiss the lawsuit.
The judge questioned whether Google had made a legally binding commitment not to collect data
during private browsing based on the company's privacy policy and statements.
he lawsuit contended that Google's practices transformed the company into an "unaccountable trove of information,"
capturing details about users' personal preferences, habits, and online activities.
