Google made a tasty cookie change in Europe that we need across the web

• Google will now display a “reject all” button on its cookie consent banner in Europe.
• The change comes after the company was fined €150 million by France’s data protection agency back in January.

Google is implementing a new option to reject cookies in Europe after being fined €150 million earlier this year for violating EU data laws with its existing banners.

European users visiting Google sites will now see a button to “reject all” cookies. Previously, the cookie dialog box Google displayed on its sites allowed users to accept all cookies with one click but made them go through multiple menus to reject them all.

Google’s new cookie banner will include three straightforward options: “Accept all,” “Reject all,” and “More options.” It will appear on Google Search and YouTube if users aren’t signed into their Google accounts. Signed-in users can change their cookie settings through Google’s data and privacy dashboard.
