The decision of many news online editors to prevent access
to their websites without subscribing or accepting cookies for
advertising purposes is causing discussion and has once again
brought to the attention of the Privacy Guarantor, so called
Garante, the legitimacy of this type of tool (so-called Paywall).
But what does the legislation provide for and what do the other
authorities think?
There has been much talk in recent days about the initiative
taken by many Italian newspapers to block access to their sites
unless they purchase a subscription or consent to profiling via
cookies.
The issue has been the subject of various opinions from European
guarantor authorities and is currently being examined by the
Garante.
