noyb has scored another win in its proceedings against Microsoft 365 Education: The Austrian data protection authority (DSB) has decided that the company illegally installed cookies on the devices of a pupil without consent. According to Microsoft’s own documentation, these cookies analyse user behaviour, collect browser data and are used for advertising. Microsoft now has four weeks to comply and cease the use of tracking cookies.

Yet to read the article, but I hope it gets enforced. I grow tired of seeing laws and proper judicial decisions not being enforced or being done so at the convenience of those interested.
