France fines Google and Facebook €210m over cookies
By EUobserver
France's data privacy watchdog has fined Google and Facebook a total of €210m for making it difficult for users to reject cookies, the Guardian reports. Google was fined €150m and Facebook €60m. "Rejecting cookies should be as easy as accepting them" said Karin Kiefer of the agency. But on Facebook "several clicks are required to refuse all cookies, as opposed to a single one to accept them."
