Microsoft Ireland revised its cookie policy for the Bing search engine in France after it received a reprimand from the country’s data protection agency for privacy violations.
France’s Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertes – known as CNIL – in December imposed a fine of 60 million euros against the company for misleading cookie policies that it says made it difficult for Bing users to decline data collection. The agency noted at the time this feature violated the consent requirement under the French privacy law (see: France Fines Microsoft Ireland 60M Euros Over Bing Cookies).
