@jamesthomson This is why I have used a lot of private browsing to read articles on completely legit sites. I simply click on Accept all, read what I need and close it, hoping the browser won’t leave any trail behind on my device. The only downside is that the tracking will be 100 % enabled on their side, in the logs and maybe some database or they will sell my data to third-parties.

So … no, it’s not ideal. I just find it practical if I absolutely want to visit the website.
