Google and Meta slapped with multi-million euro fines for cookie policy violations

Cookie banners are the bane of most people’s existence, popping up whenever they visit a new website. Many companies have a bad habit of making it harder to refuse cookies than to accept them, but Google and Meta (ex Facebook) will soon have to change this practice in France. French privacy and personal data regulator CNIL has hit the companies with 150 million and 60 million euro fines ($170 million and $68 million), respectively (via Reuters).
