Enforcement Tracker

2,000+ Fines. €4.5B+ Penalties.

Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) have moved past warnings. Cookie consent violations are now a major source of enforcement revenue across the EU. “We have a banner” is no longer a valid legal defense if that banner doesn’t actually stop the trackers.

The Shift in Enforcement

Early GDPR enforcement focused on massive data breaches. Today, regulators in France (CNIL), Germany, and Spain are targeting the “low-hanging fruit”: sites that fire Meta Pixels, GA4, or TikTok trackers before a user clicks “Accept.”

Because pre-consent leakage is easy to prove with a simple network trace, these cases are processed quickly. For a publisher or e-commerce site, a single audit can result in fines ranging from €3,000 to €50,000 depending on traffic and duration of the violation.
