Actually this track-ability is what is keeping me from subscribing to news websites. I'd easily pay a few bucks to them for the privilege, but I don't want to log-in or identify myself every time I read an article.
It's quite likely that if you do not use an add blocker and disable all social media tags on those pages using a js blocker that what you read is already coupled to your profile in some database.
Yeah for this you would need to sign up using a one-use mailbox, pay by mailing in a cashier's check, atop hiding your traffic. Possible with the NY Times, at least.
Why a cashier’s check? Shouldn’t you send in $1 coins (after baking them) and pray that they arrive?
What do you mean by "baking"? Google is unhelpfully showing me results about crypto currencies and how to literally bake coins into a cake.
Heating them in the oven to clean off any identifying residue.
I would use an acetone soak.
I highly doubt baking them will do that.
Absolutely this, yes.
Ads technica disables tracking if you are a paying subscriber last I checked
Same here. They could send out a daily e-paper though (and some do!).
