Ban websites from making people pay a fee to reject cookies
I want the government to place a ban on websites putting a ‘reject and pay’ button as the only option to reject cookies. Some websites, including tabloid news sites, have changed the options regarding cookies and now make you pay to reject.

Background
I believe that this move by certain websites is a violation of our ability to freely give consent, and that we should not have to pay in order to limit the near constant tracking online that we are subjected to. I believe that making people pay for a subscription in order to access a website and have optional cookies rejected should not be acceptable under the law.
