🔔 The California Privacy Protection Agency and the attorneys general of California, Colorado and Connecticut announced a coordinated enforcement sweep targeting businesses that fail to detect or honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signals. Regulators will contact firms believed not to be processing consumers’ opt-out requests and urge immediate remediation. Legal advisers recommend technical steps — from reliable GPC signal recognition to consent management platform integration, routine testing and monitoring, and clear privacy notice updates — to reduce enforcement risk.

⚖️ The French data protection authority, CNIL, has fined Google €325 million ($379 million) and Shein €150 million ($175 million) for placing advertising cookies without valid consent. CNIL found users were nudged to accept personalized ad cookies during Google account creation and that information remained unclear even after an opt-out option was added in October 2023. The regulator also said targeted ads placed inside Gmail's Promotions and Social tabs required explicit consent under the CPCE. Shein has updated systems and plans to appeal; Google must comply within six months or face €100,000-per-day penalties.
