facebook and instagram? I don't know about the rest of Europe, but in Spain right now practically all newspapers/digital media have copied that model and you either accept cookies or pay

Also in Italy, but I think once the data protection agencies will get on it, it will be forbidden. It will take some time, but there is no way that's a legitimate use of consent.

Yes, surely, but there is an underlying problem for this entire system, there is no economically viable alternative to the use of data for advertising sales, without that all those websites cease to be profitable.I don't think this is good for anyone.
