[Infography] Focus on the French data protection authority activity (CNIL)

Over the past months, the French Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (“CNIL”), regulator of personal data, imposed tremendous financial sanctions on GAFAM, especially for the use of cookies, and for data protection breaches which still is core for the CNIL. It also created a fast-track simplified procedure for less complex cases which should enable it to strengthen its enforcement action in the future.
