So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?

Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal?
RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.
Not any factor lotion will protect your mental health from "the Sun" o_O
No you don't.
The site is trash so you leave.
I am really fucking sick and tired of every goddamn company thinking they're entitled to colonize my property and hack it to serve them instead of me.
My computer is my property, you fascist fucks, not yours, and my actual property rights trump your Imaginary "Property" "rights" (i.e. temporary government-granted privileges) every single time and in every single circumstance!
Oh no. It's not like that. They don't even ask you about cookies any more.
This is a payment so they don't sell all your cookie data to their 1354 trusted data partners/advertising vultures.
I find it amusing that they "use cookies to give you the best possible experience", but then ask you to pay to not have them.
The red flag there in the screenshot shows you the name of the publication you should avoid using or visiting.
Time for 12ft.io I guess.
When I was working on data protection issues, I asked a specialist lawyer more than two years ago how something like this could be reconciled with the GDPR. He couldn't answer the question, but said that with the best will in the world he couldn't imagine that this would be OK under data protection law. Nevertheless, this approach is now common practice for the vast majority of news sites in Europe and also in the EU, which has strict regulations regarding tracking, at least in theory. I still don't know the legal details, but at least I know that there are no serious penalties whatsoever if there is no distortion of competition involved - and since none of the news companies would sue another in this matter, this has become common practice even in the EU.
"To change all cookie settings click_here" <-- this is the bit you want. It's free to reject all the cookies yourself.
LibreWolf (which doesn't store any cookies or other website data by default, unless you allow it) + I still don't care about cookies or Consent-O-Matic
the Sun would personally sell your organs if it could
What new level of hell is this?
bypass paywalls clean?
And, though I don't know about this one in particular, just because you pay not to have personalized ads, doesn't mean you're paying not to have your data tracked and sold by this company or to not have tracking cookies added to your browser by them that other sites can use to target ads to you.
It's just that they won't use the information they collect or buy or get from partners' tracking cookies or advertising IDs already on your system to target the ads you see while on their site and logged in.
Visiting the Murdoch-owned Sun was your first mistake. Everything they do to you after that is your own fault.,
Might as well hand your credit card to the MyPillow Guy next and complain about how much money just got charged to your account from the nearest strip club.
