CNIL closes the procedure against Facebook for cookie practices

On 11 July 2022, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) closed its procedure against Facebook regarding its cookie practices following the company's compliance with the order. On 30 December 2021 CNIL issued a fine of EUR 60 million against Facebook for failure to comply with cookie requirements. The CNIL stated that on the website 'facebook.com' it was more difficult for users to refuse than to accept cookies. CNIL also adopted an order requiring Facebook to make its cookie banners compliant with the legal requirements for users in France within three months and issued a fine of EUR 100,000 euros per day after the company missed the deadline.
