Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The Austrian Federal Administrative Court on Monday said that newspaper Der Standard violated the EU’s data protection rules when introducing a "pay or OK” model on its website, confirming an earlier decision by Austria’s Data Protection Authority (DSB).</p><p>This "pay or OK" approach – introduced on the newspaper’s website when the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018 – gives users a choice between paying a monthly €9,90 fee to access the website without having their data tracked, or giving consent to data collection and processing for targeted advertising. </p><p>The Austrian privacy watchdog already said in its decision in 2023, that the approach of one of Austria's most-read newspapers was unlawful, as it only allowed a global consent or rejection. The EU's privacy law requires the option to consent to specific types of processing.</p><p>Der Standard appealed this decision and argued that such a "granular" consent is not doable in a "pay or OK" system, as it required tracking and statistics to sell its advertisement in the non-paid version."</p><p><a href="https://www.euronews.com/next/2025/08/19/austrian-newspapers-pay-or-consent-model-violates-eu-privacy-rules-court" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">euronews.com/next/2025/08/19/a</span><span class="invisible">ustrian-newspapers-pay-or-consent-model-violates-eu-privacy-rules-court</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PayOrOK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PayOrOK</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataCollection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AdTargeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdTargeting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Austria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Austria</span></a></p>
