General GDPR enforcement action

This case relates to broader data protection obligations, not specifically to cookie or consent banner compliance. It is not included in cookie statistics or the Risk Calculator.

The Italian DPA has fined Sky Italia EUR 842,062 for unlawful telemarketing. The investigation revealed that Sky contacted individuals without proper consent, including those registered in advertising opt-out lists and those who had given consent before the GDPR came into force—without reassesing its validity under the updated legal framework. Additionally, the documentation of consents obtained from data providers was deemed inadequate, as Sky stored consent details in modifiable Excel files, failing to ensure clear and verifiable proof of user consent.
