The Belgian Data Protection Authority ordered four Mediahuis news sites to add a “reject” button on the first layer of their cookie banners and to change misleading button colours. Non‑compliance triggers a penalty of €50,000 per day per website, up to €10 million, with a 45‑day compliance deadline.
Why it matters: The decision enforces GDPR consent rules for cookie banners on major Belgian news sites.
