23 Jun 2026 Deghi S.p.A.Deghi: 2 million EUR for endlessly renewing countdown discounts €2m
From January 2024 to December 2025, the online retailer advertised time-limited discounts with countdown timers which, once they had expired, restarted with a new timer on identical terms. The AGCM classified this artificial scarcity as a particularly insidious dark pattern and imposed a fine of 2 million EUR.
A countdown must genuinely expire – an automatically restarting timer creates misleading scarcity.
