4,000 Euro fine against FRESHLY COSMETICS
Cookie consent obtained without valid user consent.

The Spanish data protection authority has imposed a fine on the cosmetics company FRESHLY COSMETICS for breaches of cookie management on its website. This was triggered by a complaint from a user. The authority found that the website was already setting tracking and advertising cookies from third-party providers such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft on the first visit, without the user's prior consent. In addition, all cookie categories were marked as accepted in advance in the administration panel. The original fine of EUR 5,000 was reduced to EUR 4,000 due to an admission of guilt and timely payment.
