You get a fine contingent on not following the law, so... just follow the law? Fines need to be big for big corporations if they are to pose a risk worth avoiding.

As with any fine, it goes to government, which means that same expenditure requires less taxes. So it gets shared among all french population. Which is a good proxy for “users impacted by google cookies in France”.
> Do changes happen as a result - slowly if at all.
So if 2 companies are fined for not complying with a law, the problem is that the law is overly punishing / fining does not work? It would seem the other way, that the fine risk was not big enough!
> who ends up paying for it...the users/people..again.
Which are also the ones that receive the money, through their government.
