CNIL (France) case SAN-2025-010, decided . EUR 750k.
We have not checked whether this decision was appealed. This is not a statement that no appeal exists.
What the regulator decided
Trackers were deposited on users' terminals before any consent action, in breach of Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act; the information presented in the banner did not describe the purposes of the trackers accurately; and trackers continued to be read after users had refused or withdrawn consent. The asymmetry between the ease of acceptance and the difficulty of refusal also undermined the freely-given character of any consent obtained.

Operator-readable note on how this case shapes the ConsentMark scanner narrative. Not a legal opinion; cites the primary source.
Media-publisher precedent (Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ France). Cite when the scanner narrative covers an ad-supported editorial site where tag fires precede the CMP interaction or where refusal does not stop downstream reads. Comparable in pattern to SAN-2024-019 (Orange) but in the editorial-publisher sector rather than telco webmail.
