What the fine was for (summary, not the official text)

Information on ad personalisation was scattered and unclear, and consent to it was not specific or informed (pre-ticked, bundled), so it gave no valid legal basis.

Checked against the official source on 28 October 2026.

Only the authority's decision is authoritative. This is reference material, not legal advice.
