A Recipe for Disaster: Penalties for Violating Cookie Consent Laws
Cookie consent laws require businesses to obtain explicit consent from users before collecting, storing, or processing their data through cookies. These regulations are designed to give users control over their personal information and to ensure they are fully informed about how their data is being used. The nuances behind Cookie Consent compliance can leave businesses struggling to navigate the law. Businesses need a reliable partner to navigate the intricacies of cookie consent laws and protect them from potential violations. ALTAMIT’s leading compliance technology company offers comprehensive solutions designed to ensure full compliance and safeguard your business.
The recent TikTok fine by the French Regulator made national headlines. As reported by The Hacker News in the article TikTok Fined $5.4 Million by French Regulator for Violating Cookie Laws:
“Popular short-form video hosting service TikTok has been fined €5 million (about $5.4 million) by the French data protection watchdog for breaking cookie consent rules, making it the latest platform to face similar penalties after Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft since 2020… The regulator said it conducted several audits between May 2020 and June 2022, finding that the ByteDance-owned company did not offer a straightforward option to refuse all cookies as opposed to just one click for accepting them. The option to “refuse all” cookies was introduced by TikTok in February 2022.”
