Google will have to pay a fine of 11 million euros for misleading

Paris: Google Ireland and Google France have finally agreed to pay a 11 million fine. An investigation has revealed that Google's hotel rankings are misleading. This was clarified by the French Ministry of Finance and the Fraud Watchdog on Monday.
In a statement, the ministry and Watchdog also said that Google has made changes to their hotel rankings since September 2019. France's data privacy regulators imposed heavy fines on Google and Amazon last year. Google was fined 100 million euros. This was the largest fine ever imposed on Google by a regulator.
Data privacy company CNIL said at the time that US e-commerce company Amazon had been fined 35 million euros for violating the same rules. The regulator found that Google's and Amazon's French websites did not have visitors' prior permission before saving advertising cookies on computers.
CNIL also said that Google and Amazon failed to provide clear information to Internet users about how both firms wanted to use online trackers. Nor did the two companies say how visitors to their French websites would refuse to use cookies.
