France’s data privacy watchdog has issued Microsoft a more than $63 million fine for several violations related to how the Bing search engine handles cookies.
During an investigation from September 2020 until May 2021, France’s Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL) found that when users visited Bing.com, “cookies were deposited on their terminal without their consent, while these cookies were used, among others, for advertising purposes.” This was in violation of France’s Data Protection Act.
