12 Mar 2026 Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l.Luxembourg: Cour administrative annuls 746 million EUR fine against Amazon but confirms infringements overturned
In 2021, the Luxembourg data protection authority (CNPD) had imposed 746 million EUR and an order to bring processing into compliance on account of behavioural online advertising; the Administrative Tribunal (Tribunal administratif) confirmed this on 18 March 2025. On 12 March 2026, the Administrative Court (Cour administrative) confirmed that legitimate interest was not a sound legal basis and that the information was insufficient, but annulled the fine on the basis of more recent CJEU case law on the requirement of culpability; the CNPD is re-examining the sanction.
Personalised advertising cannot be based on legitimate interest – and courts now scrutinise culpability closely when it comes to fines.
