noyb sent 270 draft complaints to website operators whose cookie banners violate the GDPR, offering a 60‑day grace period before filing formal complaints. If companies do not fully comply, noyb will file complaints with DPAs, which may impose fines of up to €20 million. The first wave resulted in 456 complaints filed with 20 DPAs and prompted many sites to adopt simple yes/no consent banners.
Why it matters: The action aims to enforce GDPR consent standards and deter deceptive cookie banner designs across European websites.
