Demands from the French regulator:
Along with the penalty, the committee directed the companies to provide Internet users located in France with an option of refusing cookies along with the existing options of accepting them. This step will ensure the freedom of consent for the users. On the contrary, if the companies failed to comply, the companies will have to pay a hefty fine of 100,000 euros per day of delay. According to CNIL chief Karen Kefir, the two companies have made the process of accepting cookies much easier with just one click. If a user does not want to accept it, he or she will face a lot of hassle. Furthermore, he said that the two companies had three months to resolve the issue, otherwise they would face an additional fine as mentioned above. What are cookies?
