6 Aug 2025 DSB: fine against news portal that ignored instruction on cookie banner €6,200
In 2023, the Austrian data protection authority (Datenschutzbehörde, DSB) had ordered a local news portal (a media GmbH & Co KG, name pseudonymised) by decision to offer, on the first layer of the cookie banner, an equivalent option to close it without consent. Because the company did not implement this from October 2024 until at least March 2025, the DSB imposed 6,200 EUR for failure to comply with an instruction; the penalty decision is final.
Implement orders of the supervisory authority on time – ignoring them risks a separate fine in addition to the original infringement.
