20 Nov 2025 Les Publications Condé NastCNIL: 750,000 EUR against Vanity Fair publisher Condé Nast over cookies without consent FranceCookies and tracking €750,000

On vanityfair.fr, cookies requiring consent were set before any interaction with the banner, trackers were labelled as ‘strictly necessary’ and cookies continued to be placed even after ‘Reject all’. Following a complaint by noyb, the publisher had already received a formal notice in 2021; follow-up inspections in 2023 and 2025 by the French data protection authority (CNIL) showed continuing infringements.

What organisations can take from it

A cookie banner must technically deliver what it promises: after ‘Reject’, no further trackers may be set – and this should be tested regularly.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
