The DPA found that a ‘pay or okay’ cookie banner violated the Spanish e-Privacy Law and imposed a €5,000 fine.
English Summary
Facts
On 22 May 2023, a data subject filed a complaint with the AEPD against Motorsport Network España (the controller). The complaint alleged that the controller’s webpage used a ‘pay or okay’ scheme in its cookie banner, requiring data subjects to either consent to cookies and use the page or free, or to subscribe for a fee in order to reject any cookies.
In its investigation, the AEPD noted that upon entering the webpage for the first time, the controller utilised non-technical cookies, which require consent under the ePrivacy Directive, without the prior consent of the user.
After the cookies were already applied, the controller prompted data subjects with a cookie banner that provided two options in its first layers. First, the user could accept the cookies and use the webpage for free. In this case, the webpage continued to use the same cookies that it had utilised prior to the consent being prompted or given. Second, the user could select a box marked ‘Demonstrate the Options’, which brought users to a second banner that showed all cookie use marked as ‘off’ except for analytics cookies, which were marked as ‘on’. Additional details about each type of cookie could be obtained, but only in English. If a data subject wished to reject all of the cookies by clicking the ‘Confirm my preferences’ button (without manually adjusting any of the settings, including the default ‘on’ setting for analytics cookies), the webpage would continue using the cookies that it utilised prior to requesting consent. A new pop-up would then appear prompting data subjects to either become subscribers for a monthly fee and access the webpage without advertising, or to accept all of the cookies.
The AEPD also considered the options for users to withdraw consent. The controller provided such options in a ‘Manage Preferences’ link at the bottom of the webpage. Therein, data subjects could access the cookie control panel and manually switch each cookie from ‘on’ to ‘off’. Nonetheless, when they hit confirm preferences, they were faced with the same option to either accept all cookies or to begin a paid subscription.
On 18 December 2023, the AEPD initiated sanctioning proceedings against the controller.
Holding
The AEPD found that the controller’s use of non-technical cookies without consent, the inability to reject consent in a granular manner and the impossibility of withdrawing consent violated Article 22(2) LSSI. These practices did not enable the data subject to give adequate consent and thus could not provide a legal basis for using cookies pursuant to the national law.
The AEPD considered this a slight infraction pursuant to Article 38(4) LSSI and imposed a €5,000 fine.
