Google has agreed to pay $23 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed against it a decade ago, which accused the company of storing and repeatedly divulging users' search queries and histories to third parties via "Referrer Headers." If you used Google Search between October 2006 and September 2013, you may be eligible for a payout of up to $7.70. The deadline to file a claim, exclude yourself from the settlement, or object to the settlement is July 31. The court will decide whether to approve the settlement in a hearing set for Oct. 12.
