In the largest fine imposed in 2022, the National Commission for Technology and Freedoms (CNIL) said Microsoft's search engine Bing had not set up a system allowing users to refuse cookies as simply as accepting them.It also "observed that there was no button allowing to refuse the deposit of cookies as easily as accepting it."The CNIL said the fine was justified in part because of the profits the company made from advertising profits indirectly generated from the data collected via cookies -- tiny data files that track online browsing.The company has been given three months to rectify the issue, with a potential further penalty of 60,000 euros per day overdue.Google and Facebook were sanctioned last year by the CNI with fines of 150 million and 60 millioneuros respectively for similar breaches."
