France’s CNIL announced major fines against Google and Shein for violating French e‑privacy rules: Google was penalized €325M total for pressuring new users into ad-related cookies and showing ads in Gmail’s Promotions/Social tabs without proper consent, while Shein was fined €150M for setting and reading cookies despite “Reject All” and failing to explain their use; both firms may appeal, and the decision underscores CNIL’s ongoing crackdown on unlawful cookie practices.
