2 Jul 2026 SIA 4YOU MEBELESFurniture retailer 4YOU MEBELES ignores cookie inspection – first a reprimand, then 1,000 EUR €1,000
In a targeted inspection of cookies on company websites, the Datu valsts inspekcija (Latvian Data State Inspectorate, DVI) found fault with the site 4mebeles.lv. After a reprimand in February 2026, the company claimed that the deficiencies had been remedied, which a further inspection disproved; further requests for information went unanswered. The DVI imposed 1,000 EUR for failure to cooperate and requested the missing information by 3 August 2026.
Assurances given to the supervisory authority are checked – false statements and silence aggravate the sanction.

1 Sep 2025 Infinite Styles Services Co. Limited (Shein)Shein: 150 million EUR – cookies without consent and despite rejection €150m
On shein.com, advertising cookies were placed without consent as soon as the site was accessed; in addition to an incomplete cookie banner, there was an advertising pop-up without an option to reject. After clicking ‘Reject all’ or withdrawing consent, cookies continued to be read. The Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (French data protection authority, CNIL) imposed 150 million EUR.
A cookie banner must work technically: rejecting and withdrawing consent must actually stop cookies from being placed and read.

6 May 2025 Todd Snyder, Inc.Todd Snyder: 345,178 USD – tracking opt-out ineffective for 40 days €304,793
For 40 days, the fashion retailer’s misconfigured privacy portal did not process objections to the sale and sharing of personal data; in addition, the company required too much data and identity verification before an opt-out. The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) imposed 345,178 USD and required correct configuration of consent management and employee training.
A consent management platform does not relieve companies of responsibility: check regularly whether opt-outs are actually implemented technically.
Configuration and monitoring of consent management platforms
Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
