BRUSSELS—Consumer agencies in the Netherlands, Poland, and five other European Union countries asked privacy regulators on Nov. 27 to take action against Google for allegedly tracking the movements of millions of users, in breach of the bloc’s new privacy law.

Google already is facing a lawsuit in the United States for allegedly tracking phone users regardless of privacy settings.
