October 2026 brings closing claim deadlines and final approval hearings in pixel-tracking class actions. Latest notices cover hospital patient portals and one large health-app data-sharing settlement. Pixel tracking means small website code that can send page visits to outside companies such as Meta.
Several health-system funds close October 5, while other health-app and hospital claims close in mid-October and early November. A new Colorado hospital complaint also expands the next wave of medical pixel cases. Most payouts are small, pro rata payments that need final court approval.
