Not only is this extra unnecessary Internet traffic, it means that such documents can be altered by the originator on a whim. It also means there is no permanent record, which could be an issue with guarantee claims, for example. I’ve also had to disable my VPN to download the content in some cases!
Stop with this nonsense, please!

I can imagine that it would be even illegal in the EU.
