Privacy watchdog in France said that it had fined US tech giant Microsoft $64mn for foisting advertising cookies on users. National Commission for Technology and Freedoms (CNIL) said Microsoft’s search engine Bing had not set up a system allowing users to refuse cookies as simple as accepting them. Bing offered a button for the user to immediately accept all cookies, but two clicks were needed to refuse them, it said.
