What the fine was for (summary, not the official text)
Behavioural advertising processing without a valid legal basis, plus failures on information and data subject rights.
Not fully confirmed: CNPD pages cite no article numbers. The Luxembourg courts' news page (justice.public.lu, 19 Mar 2025) lists Articles 6, 12 to 17 and 21. Administrative Tribunal upheld the fine on 18 Mar 2025; the Administrative Court on 12 Mar 2026 confirmed most findings but annulled the fine (later CJEU case law on fault) and sent the fine question back to the CNPD.
