France closes 'cookies' case against Facebook

Facebook was slapped with a 60-million-euro fine last December when the French regulator CNIL ruled it was failing to allow users to easily opt out of cookies, tiny data files that track online browsing.

CNIL told the firm’s parent company Meta to fix the issue within three months or face further punishment. On Thursday, the regulator announced that “the company had complied with the injunction issued” by installing a button labelled “only allow essential cookies”. Cookies are installed on a user’s computer when they visit a website, allowing web browsers to save information about their session.

They are hugely valuable for tech platforms as ways to personalise advertising — the primary source of revenue for the likes of Facebook and Google.Since the European Union passed a 2018 law on personal data, internet companies have faced stricter rules that oblige them to seek consent from users before installing cookies.
