Maybe we could replace the link with the mdr.de? Heise.de violates GDPR law by using a "pay for play" model.

I am sorry for the meta comment but websites like these should be on the black list imho (and it escapes me why the german watch dog is sleeping at the wheel so often).

The reason the German gdpr watchdog is not complaining about Heise is because what they are doing is completely legal: you can still disable the tracking with the "more options" below.

Current legal doctrine is that _forcing_ payment (i.e. cash for privacy) is not allowed, that does not mean you cannot offer a subscription that disables tracking: you just have to offer a free option as well, which they do.

		Maybe I am misunderstanding something but the cookiewall says: `Datenverarbeitungen von Werbeanbietern einschl. personalisierter Werbung mit Profilbildung. Zustimmung erforderlich für kostenfreie Nutzung` This reads to me like you either pay with cash or your privacy, no?

		IIRC it is required that rejecting tracking is as easy as accepting it?
