UK News outlet asking for a subscription to reject cookies.
Not sure how long this has been a thing but I was surprised to see that you cannot view the content without either agreeing to all or paying to reject.
You're viewing a single thread.
Get yourself the Consent-o-Matic browser extension and watch these “we and our 8000 partners (hungrily) value your privacy” banners disappear.
If you stumble upon a web site that Consent-o-Matic does not handle, you can simply click the extension, click “Submit for Review”, and the devs will shortly add support for that site.
I have this but it's no good for consent-or-pay, unfortunately.
Oof! I definitely can raise an Enhancement request in their GitHub to see if they can take on adding that functionality.
If anyone can get me the exact link of whatever OP experienced, I can log it there.
if you need a consent-or-pay example, just open La Repubblica's homepage. You will be prompted with the "accept all cookies or pay" prompt as soon as you open the site. Pretty standard practice for most Italian online newspapers, sadly
Even UBO doesn't work here. Zapping the element, just pops it back up. Crazy
E: disabling js does seem to allow access to the site and articles, though you can't interact with anything (comments and such).
@[email protected] , can you help here? Thanks
I should clarify that it very well might work if I was ok consenting to everything! But since there's no option to decline without paying...🤷♂️
But does that auto accept cookies like many of these other anti cookie banner extensions?
You can customize how the extension handles cookie banners. See an example of current settings on most updated extension at time of this comment:
uBlock Origin has two cookie filters that are disabled by default. I enabled that and ditched the consent-o-matic extension
