07:06 AM EDT, 09/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) and Shein have been fined by France's National Commission on Informatics and Liberty, or CNIL, for failing to comply with rules regarding tracking cookies, the regulatory body said in a statement Thursday.

Google ( GOOG ) has been fined 325 million euros ($378.8 million) for displaying advertisements between Gmail users' emails without their consent, and depositing cookies when users create accounts, without securing consent from French users, the CNIL said.

"Over the last two years, as the CNIL has acknowledged, we made additional updates to address their concerns, including an easy way to decline personalized ads in one click when creating a Google ( GOOG ) account, and changes to the way ads are presented in Gmail. We're reviewing the decision," a spokesperson for Google ( GOOG ) said in an emailed statement to MT Newswires.

The CNIL said it has imposed a 150 million euros penalty on Shein as the company failed to comply with rules regarding cookies on its website.

Shein did not immediately respond to an MT Newswires request for comment.
