In theory it would be great to if the fine was based on the extra profit generated from using the super cookie (compared to using a legal cookie). Next thing to take in to account is the degree/duration of the privacy violation and multiply this number by the number of users who have had their privacy violated.

Deciding this number is beyond my economics skills -- and quite beyond my point -- because I want to say that it is more reasonable to base the fine on the actual violation and not the business as a whole.
