Good thing this was forbidden in the EU a few years back. As a user, you can't refuse "necessary cookies" but those from third parties you can (e.g. Google analytics). Imposing personalized ads if you don't pay is definitely forbidden in the EU I'd say
Really? Because literally every German news website does this.
Yeah. I thought this was literally what was banned but seems that it isn't 🤷
They use every loophole legally available to them (you know what I mean, the button "I agree to sell my soul" being a hundred times bigger than the link to "I'd like to review your data collection and say which analytics service I adhere to"). But I haven't seen a website where they threaten compulsory personalized ads if you don't pay. It's generally "pay or you get cookies". But I tought those weren't third party cookies, just in-site ones.
I thought it was illegal to have the opt out be smaller than the agree. Even stack overflow had to comply
Spanish newspapers were doing it until very recently but this was released a couple months ago: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_3582
