> I've seen a couple of news websites doing that - you have to either agree to be tracked or subscribe to the paid plan.

Do you have to agree to be tracked? Or agree to be served ads? Because there are plenty of paid services where you're promised no ads (and indeed aren't served any ads) and yet are tracked to the same extent as the free users. I don't think I've come across any services that allow you to pay not to be tracked. Only those that allow you to pay to avoid ads. It's frustrating because it's not the ads I have a problem with - it's the stalking.



I've just checked German zeit.de. They promise less ads and no tracking to paid users. Not sure how much do they stick to this promise.
