Cookie walls that demand a website visitor agrees to their Internet browsing being tracked for ad-targeting as the ‘price’ of entry to the site are not compliant with European data protection law, the Dutch data protection agency clarified yesterday.
The DPA said it has received dozens of complaints from Internet users who had had their access to websites blocked after refusing to accept tracking cookies — so it has taken the step of publishing clear guidance on the issue.

Which would shut off all websites that aren't hobby, non-profit, or selling physical goods or media rentals. Would you prefer to have to pay the owner of each website $5 for a monthly pass to visit that site? Let me know when there's one website, singular, where I can subscribe to "journalism" in general.
