This is low on details and you have to dig through the decision, which itself redacts out crucial details on revenue of the companies being fined within the FNAC - Darty group. Tldr is Fnac saying: "sure we have a 2025 revenue in excess of 10 B€ but we're really not in great financial health so please don't fine us too much". Since a fine could be 2% of revenue, ie 200M€ max here, to walk away with a 7M€ fine is a very good outcome for FNAC. I am unsure how much value they derived from tracking this data, but it could well be in excess of the amount of the fine. So probably not very dissuasive all things considered.

I have always had horrible experiences buying from FNAC. I avoid them at all costs. They often apply pressure on the customer into buying an insurance for their product which is very difficult to cancel.
