What the regulator decided

Advertising and measurement cookies were deposited on users' terminals as soon as they arrived on shein.com, before any consent action was taken; this breached the prior-consent requirement of Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (the national transposition of Article 5(3) ePrivacy), as the user had no opportunity to express or refuse consent before the read/write operation.
