    Just don't read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

    GDPR, go gettem.

    You cannot share customer data with third parties without explicit consent. It has to be clearly labelled and not hidden in T&Cs

        It's still a uk thing. I was the GDPR officer for our company when it was introduced and as far as I know it hasn't been repealed in UK law yet.

        Edit: Looking into it further it appears that we now have a UK GDPR law which is essentially the same thing and is in lockstep with the EU version.

        UK also has GDPR. They left the EU after GDPR was passed and now have "UK GDPR" which is practically the same as the EU

    FYI you should probably be blocking/whitelisting cookies client-side anyways. At the very least, disable third party cookies.

    How can you pay to block cookies if they would need a cookie to remember that you paid?

      They are all unchecked by default but you can't save and exit, it just loops back to the subscribe screen.

    Daily mail does it as well. Cancer. But not hard to circumvent with Firefox and some extensions.
