Disclaimer

Cookie Fines (cookiefines.eu) is a non-commercial, open-source research project. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

The information provided should not be used as a substitute for professional legal counsel. GDPR and ePrivacy enforcement is complex and fact-specific; individual circumstances may vary significantly from the cases documented here.

While we strive to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the enforcement data, we cannot guarantee that all information is correct, complete, or up-to-date. Errors may occur due to:

• Inaccuracies in upstream data sources (GDPRhub, CMS Enforcement Tracker, DPA publications)
• Automated parsing or classification errors
• AI-generated summaries that may contain inaccuracies
• Currency conversion approximations for non-EUR fines
• Delays between DPA publication and database updates
• Sealed settlements or unpublished enforcement actions not included

If you find inaccurate information, please use the "Report Inaccuracy" link on any enforcement action page, or contact us at corrections@cookiefines.eu.

The Risk Calculator provides statistical estimates based on historical enforcement data. These estimates:

• Are not predictions of actual enforcement outcomes
• Do not account for specific circumstances of your organization
• Should not be relied upon for compliance planning or risk management
• May be unreliable for countries with few recorded enforcement actions
• Do not constitute financial or legal advice

Use the risk calculator as a general educational tool, not as a basis for business decisions.

Enforcement data is aggregated from publicly available sources, primarily:

• GDPRhub by noyb.eu – licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
• CMS GDPR Enforcement Tracker – licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
• Official DPA publications (public records)

This project is non-commercial and publishes all derived data under the same CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence. Commercial use of the data is not permitted. If you redistribute this data, you must do so under the same licence terms. For licensing inquiries, see our About page.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cookie Fines and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Use of or reliance on information from this website
• Inaccuracies or omissions in the data
• Decisions made based on the risk calculator or enforcement statistics
• Service interruptions or data unavailability
