The French data protection authority CNIL has issued a decision siding with privacy NGO noyb and fined Google €325 million for sending unsolicited advertising emails to Gmail users without consent. The authority also ordered Google to stop displaying ads between emails and to obtain valid consent for advertising cookies within six months, with a daily penalty of €100,000 for non‑compliance.
Why it matters: The fine underscores strict enforcement of EU consent rules for direct marketing and ePrivacy compliance.
