In this video commentary, Prof. Avv. Alessandro del Ninno comments on the initiative of the publisher of La Repubblica newspaper to initiate a new way of accessing the newspaper's online site, depending on whether or not the reader is a subscriber.

For non-subscribers, a cookie wall makes access to the site conditional on the mandatory provision of consent to the sending of commercial profiling cookies, thus posing the issue of "payment" for a digital service or content with the provision of personal data (as now also provided for in Article 125-octies of the Consumer Code, in the part in which it transposed Directive 770/2019 on the provision of digital content and services and their contractual compliance).
