French data protection agency CNIL has imposed fines of 150 million euros ($170 million) on Google and 60 million euros on Facebook for not complying with the country’s data regulation norms. CNIL found that the websites facebook.com, google.fr and youtube.com enabled users to accept cookies with the click of a button, but did not provide a similarly easy option to opt out of cookies. The agency gives Google and Facebook three months to provide users in the country a “means to refuse cookies that is as simple as the existing means of accepting them””]
