PARIS (Reuters) – French data watchdog CNIL said on Thursday it imposed a 10 million euro ($10.86 million) fine on U.S. web services provider Yahoo! for failings linked to the company’s cookie policy.
The watchdog accused the company of “failing to respect the choice of Internet users who refused cookies on its main website and for not allowing users of its e-mail client to freely withdraw their consent to cookies.”
