Google fined €50 million in France for GDPR breach about consent

France’s Data Protection Authority, the CNIL, has today announced a 50 million euro fine on Google LLC for lack of transparency, inadequate information and lack of valid consent regarding the personalisation of advertisements.

The case was initiated by two associations, None Of Your Business (“NOYB”) and La Quadrature du Net (“LQDN”). LQDN was supported by 10 000 people to refer the matter to the CNIL. The CNIL says that the GDPR “one-stop-shop mechanism” was not applicable as the DPAs consider that Google did not have one main establishment in the European Union.
