Italian Regulator Closes Google Probe After Agreement on More Robust Consent

Nov 21, 2025 1:38 AM

04:12 AM EST, 11/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Italian Competition Authority said Friday that it has closed its investigation into Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) subsidiary Google's ( GOOG ) linking of user activity across its services after receiving commitments by the company to provide user consent.

The investigation, launched in July 2024, was closed after Google ( GOOG ) committed to give users "more detailed and accurate information on the combination and cross-use of personal data across its services," the regulator said.

The company has also agreed to provide clearer information on how users can customize their consent by choosing to grant it only for certain services, the regulator said.

Google ( GOOG ) has also agreed to notify Italian users a summary of their settings, the regulator said.

Google ( GOOG ) did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
