On 23 September 2026 the CNIL's restricted formation closed the injunction issued on 1 September 2025 against Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited. The companies complied by adding clear information about advertising cookies during account creation and by redesigning Gmail ads so they are clearly distinguished from private emails, removing the need for consent under article L.34-5. The closure follows a €325 million fine and a daily penalty of €100,000 for non‑compliance.
Why it matters: The decision demonstrates French regulator enforcement of privacy consent rules for cookies and email advertising.
