It's totally against GDPR!! Complete personal info profiling & tracking.

Lately I noticed we cannot opt out for cookies. Most websites offer you the option to opt out and accept only essential cookies.
How to geek now demands your personal info in one way or the other. It's pay or Login to be profiled & tracked.
Im no longer a user on their website despite the good content it has.
It's totally against GDPR!!

A reliable tech blog

How-To Geek has been a reliable ally in my tech journey. The website is adorned with insightful tutorials that are both comprehensive and easy to grasp. Each guide is a testament to the writers’ expertise, offering a blend of depth and simplicity. I’ve often found myself turning to their pages for clarity, and seldom have I been disappointed. However, while the content is top-notch, a more intuitive website navigation would elevate the user experience significantly. In essence, How-To Geek is a treasure trove of tech wisdom, just a step away from perfection. Highly valuable, but with room for improvement.

Excellent

How-To Geek is an exceptionally well written and accurate site for info on computers and digital tech. They get right to the point, state the facts clearly, link to other relevant articles, and keep things up to date. It's true that they have some third-party tracking going on, like most commercial sites. But that's why we should all be using the Privacy Badger extension (or something equivalent).
