Norway: Data Protection Authority announced penalties following investigation into six websites' use of tracking pixels

On 10 June 2025, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority concluded its investigations into six websites' use of tracking pixels. The investigation found that all six of the websites, offering various services, illegally shared personal data with third parties using tracking pixels. A violation fee of NOK 250'000 was imposed on 116111.no, a public service for vulnerable children, due to the illegal processing of children's data. Reprimands were issued to the other five websites, which included an online pharmacy, a religious website, a medical services provider, a call service, and a health information website. The fee for 116111.no was reduced from the initially notified amount due to cooperation and implemented measures. The investigations aimed to raise awareness regarding tracking pixel use and informed the creation of guidance for websites.
