Bavarian Data Protection Authority announces possible fines after website search
At the beginning of February, the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (DPA) participated in the Safer Internet Day (SID) 2019 and searched 40 websites of large companies based in Bavaria.
The DPA reviewed cyber security and user tracking practices with the finding that in the DPA’s view none of the 40 companies provided for GDPR-compliant practices on their websites. As a result, the DPA announced it is considering fines under the GDPR.
