[PARIS] Google lost its bid to topple a 100 million-euro (S$151.3 million) fine from French privacy watchdogs over how it manages its cookies.
France's top administrative court backed regulators who criticised the search giant for failing to seek the consent of users to place cookies on their computers and for having an inefficient mechanism to block the tracking devices.
The Alphabet Inc unit and French privacy watchdog CNIL have locked horns twice in 2 years over the use of cookies to track users online movements. Earlier this month, Google was hit with a record 150 million-euro penalty for still not giving users an easy way out of its cookies.
Google representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling.
