It's not just heise.de, there are a ton of other websites that utilize the same approach. F.e. golem.de It's a mess. In case of heise or golem, I just consent.

It's not just heise.de, there are a ton of other websites that utilize the same approach. F.e. golem.de It's a mess. In case of heise or golem, I just consent. In case of other websites, I usually close the tab. Also, what should be punished is, when you consent to, the website present you a pay walled article after. So, they took my data and didn't deliver what I wanted and therefore consented. My only possiblity is to use AdBlock. Never ever will I put it to "off".

Also major newspapers in DE employ the same tactic.

  Is there an addon for the browsers to generate fake Infos? If not, would please someone take uppon this :)

    There's not much to generate. The site doesn't ask you to fill in a form, it just sets a cookie and tries to sell advertising space as expensively as possible. Which is what you should expect from a place like Heise. The same people invented/popularised a way to provide Facebook Like buttons without sending data to Facebook. Normally Facebook learns that you see the page, Heise's approach delivered data to Facebook only if/when you click Like. It's wordly in that people can like but very careful with people's personal information.

      i was very surprised when i found out that heise used this ok or pay method given their reputation otherwise, and i always had the hope/suspicion that this can't be ok. i am very excited to see some progress here. if heise can clarify exactly what i need to consent to, then it will be easier to decide. so far i have simply rejected, and gave up trying to read their articles.

        When people who have a history of careful, clueful behaviour do something that surprises you, or something with which you disagree, there's a possibility that they understand something you don't.

    adnauseam is similar but I'm not sure it does exactly that
