I’m trying to understand the problem here. If the website you’re on has some javascript that’s executing side channel attacks to uniquely identify you, why couldn’t they just use other fingerprinting techniques?

Note that this book tells you all about why we sleep, and gives you a lot of scary stats, but almost nothing practical about how to sleep better. If you already know sleep is important and want actionable advice, this book won’t help.

Not a newspaper subscriber but can’t you just cut these payments off at the source by calling the bank and telling them it’s fraudulent and unauthorised? PayPal, Apple etc make this pretty easy for most subscriptions.
