Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems has filed a complaint against Google in France alleging that the US tech giant is illegally tracking users on Android phones because it does not have their consent, Financial Times reports.
Android phones generate unique advertising codes, similar to Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), that allow Google and third parties to track users’ browsing behaviour in order to better target them with advertising. In a complaint filed on Wednesday, Schrems’ campaign group Noyb argued that in creating and storing these codes without first obtaining explicit permission from users, Google was engaging in “illegal operations” that violate EU privacy laws.

A pressure group set up by Austrian privacy activist and lawyer Max Schrems has launched a new campaign in France, this time complaining that Google s Android advertising tool violates European Union rules by failing to get users consent.
noyb (none of your business), established by Schrems to take on the Internet giants and others over perceived privacy violations in Europe, said it launched action against the Android Advertising Identifier (AAID) claiming that the somewhat hidden ID allows Google and all apps on the phone to track a user and combine information about online and mobile behavior. While these trackers clearly require the users consent (as known from cookie banners ), Google neglects this legal requirement, said noyb.
