Google faces $111 mn fine in France over cookies policy

France’s Conseil d’Etat, the country’s supreme administrative court, said it upheld a decision by a watchdog imposing a 100 million euro ($111.46 million) fine on the U.S. tech giant Google for breaches linked to its cookies policy.

The fine imposed by France’s CNIL data protection authority was proportionate, the court said in a statement. “The Conseil d’Etat therefore rejects Google’s demand to annul the sanction.”
