EU watchdogs plan to take action against Google by this summer over the web giant's current privacy policy, French privacy regulator CNIL has said.
Since March, Google has been combining data from across its sites to potentially better target adverts - which regulators see as "high risk" to people's privacy.
Last October, the firm was given four months to revise its policy.
Google said its actions did comply with EU law.
The new policy was implemented after the company combined 60 separate privacy policies into one agreement.
CNIL said the internet giant had not yet made the changes demanded by the regulators.
"Google did not provide any precise and effective answers," CNIL said on Monday.
