JAKARTA - The French government on Thursday, January 12 fined TikTok 5 million euros (Rp 81.6 billion) for a short video platform-related short-tracking known as a "contact". But according to TikTok-owned company ByteDance, this has been dealt with.
French data protection watchdog CNIL said its investigation only concerns the tiktok.com website and is not a service smartphone application that is much more widely used.
CNIL found that tiktok.com users refuse online trackers are not as easy as accepting them. Authorities also found that internet users don't get enough information about using cookies by TikTok.
"These findings are related to previous practices we handled last year, including facilitating negligible rejection of cookies and providing additional information on specific cookies," a TikTok spokesperson said.
"CNIL itself highlights our cooperation during user investigations and privacy remains TikTok's top priority," the spokesperson added.
Under EU rules, websites must clearly seek prior approval from internet users for any use of cookies, small pieces of data stored while navigating the Web. According to EU regulations, they should also make it easy for netizens to reject it.
