Paris: CNILa data privacy watchdog in France, has slapped a hefty fine of 100 million euros (approximately Rs 900 crore) on a search engine Google and about Rs 314 crore on Amazon. Both of them have been fined for violating the country's advertising cookies rules.

The French website of the two companies has not obtained the prior permission of Internet consumers to read trackers and cookies for advertising purposes, the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty said in a statement. These cookies and trackers were automatically saved to the user's computer, while according to the rule, it should have been approved by users.  According to the agencies, the statement said google and Amazon also failed to tell users that they would use these cookies for the job and how consumers could refuse them.

In a statement on the matter, Google said, "Those who use Google expect us to respect their privacy. We are on our record of upfront information, clear control, strong international data governance, secure infrastructure and useful products. Today's order does not take into account that France's rules and regulations are uncertain and constantly changing. We will maintain constant contact with CNIL."
