I’ve seen this more and more, it’s fucked up and probably illegal

Think I’ve seen this twice now in the past couple years, but yeah it’s likely not compliant with the cookie law in EU

This is perfectly legal, the law only says that the user must freely choose to allow the website to save said data. You can opt out here and not use that website.

In EU with their GDPR/cookie laws. I’m pretty sure hiding the declining of tracking or cookies behind a paywall is not supported under those laws.

I wish. In the end it all depend on how individual countries interpret the EU law. In France it was decided that “either let us shit all over your privacy or pay a subscription” was okay and in the spirit of the law.

It’s bullshit IMO, but lots of sites ran with it. So those I refuse to interact with now.

It’s not but I guess they know that nothing really happens to them doing this.

This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all

It is very legal and common in France too. You’re free to decline as long as you’re a customer. You’re free to accept or not see the web site.
