CNIL closes injunction against Microsoft

France's data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, closed a December 2022 injunction against Microsoft. The CNIL at the time fined the company 60 million euros and ordered the company to correct cookie practices within three months or face a daily penalty of 60,000 euros. Microsoft "responded within the allotted timeframe and made technical modifications so that tracking linked to the fight against advertising fraud would be inactive in the absence of specific consent from French users," the CNIL said of its decision.
