Google to cooperate fully with data protection investigation

The Data Protection Commissioner is investigating whether Google has breached the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the way it processes user data to provide personalised online advertising.

The investigation follows a number of complaints, including one from Dr Johnny Ryan of private web browser Brave, who has claimed that Google’s DoubleClick/Authorized Buyers system is responsible for the "most massive leakage of personal data recorded so far".
