Fandom Inc. has agreed to a $1.2 million settlement to resolve claims it violated California privacy laws by using trackers on GameSpot visitors’ browsers without their consent.
The GameSpot settlement benefits individuals who accessed GameSpot.com and its subdomains in California and had their IP address collected by the trackers between Jan. 5, 2023, and Dec. 16, 2025.
The class action lawsuit claims Fandom installed three trackers, namely the GumGum Tracker, Audiencerate Tracker and TripleLift Tracker, on GameSpot visitors’ internet browsers without consent, in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA).
Fandom is a gaming company that owns GameSpot, a gaming news and reviews website.
Fandom denies it violated any laws but has agreed to the settlement to resolve the GameSpot class action claims.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment.
Class members who submit a valid claim will receive a proportionate share of the settlement fund. The amount of each payment will depend on the number of class members who file valid claims.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 17, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the GameSpot settlement is scheduled for May 19, 2026.
To receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by April 16, 2026.
Who’s Eligible
California residents who accessed GameSpot.com and its subdomains and had their IP address collected by the trackers between Jan. 5, 2023, and Dec. 16, 2025.
