Recently I've been seeing a lot of european (mainly german) media sites that require buying a subscribtion to opt-out from tracking.

Is that even legal?

@zverik The Guardian site does that too now.

@SK53 @zverik whether or not it's legal, it reflects the budget realities that news outlets face. Revenue has to come from somewhere. So far, it's ads or subscriptions. If anything, I'd prefer a blunt approach like this.
