Their point 2 even states that even if you do pay them, they will still use cookies to track you and show personalised content

    or use firefox with ublock origin.

    ublock origin blocks most of these trackers.

    Moral of the story: don’t read the Daily Heil. On top of mining your data like there’s no tomorrow, it’s a racist, homophobic, transphobic, fascist, pseudoscientific crock of absolute shit.

      I noticed people are actually starting to realise the Daily Fail is an absolute shitrag, so they’re posting links from The fucking Telegraph instead 😂

    Don’t read this disgusting Murdoch rag. The Daily Heil should honestly just skip the cookies and data farming and simply shoot all of its readers.

      I think they’re all pushing their luck with it, trying to get away with it until any actual legal repercussions happen. I first saw this a while ago with a French newspaper - apparently the majority of newspapers there do it.

    I always find the statement “we care about your privacy” to be a bit meaningless when they then say that they’ll share data with 100s of partners.

      It probably is illegal in the EU, but I have no idea whether it would be illegal in the UK, too.

      If they don’t already, they will. The insatiable desire for profit means that even if you paid them $1000 a month for their dogshit rag, they’d sell your data to make $1001 dollars.

      Regulations are the only answer and they have to be both enforced and punished heavily enough to not make it worth risking.
