      In EU with their GDPR/cookie laws. I’m pretty sure hiding the declining of tracking or cookies behind a paywall is not supported under those laws.

        This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all

        It is very legal and common in France too. You’re free to decline as long as you’re a customer. You’re free to accept or not see the web site.
